Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx
County (Nelida Malave-Gonzalez, J.), entered on or about May 12, 2009, after a nonjury trial, in
favor of plaintiff and awarding it damages in the principal sum of $8,333.41.
Per Curiam.
Judgment (Nelida Malave-Gonzalez, J.), entered on or about May 12, 2009, affirmed, without costs.
The evidence, fairly interpreted, supports plaintiff's recovery of the credit card debt under
the theory of account stated, since defendant did not object within a reasonable time to the
itemized credit card statements (see generally Citibank [S.D.] v Jones, 272 AD2d 815,
lv denied 95 NY2d 764 [2000]; Shea & Gould v Burr, 194 AD2d 369 [1993]).
Defendant's argument that plaintiff was required to submit a signed credit card application in
order to establish its claim based on an account stated is without merit (see Citibank (SD) N.A. v Reine, 14
Misc 3d 130[A], 2007 NY Slip Op 50013[U]). We have considered and rejected defendant's
remaining arguments.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
