Plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from that portion of an order of the Civil Court of
the City of New York, New York County (Peter H. Moulton, J.), dated December 21, 2009,
which granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's cause of action
for breach of contract.
Per Curiam
Order (Peter H. Moulton, J.), dated December 21, 2009, insofar as appealed from, affirmed, without costs.
In opposition to defendant's prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on the ground that no enforceable contract existed between the parties, plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue. Notably, the e-mails exchanged between the parties demonstrate that the parties never mutually assented to the material terms of an enforceable agreement. Therefore, as Civil Court correctly concluded, defendant was entitled to summary judgment dismissing the breach of contract cause of action (see generally Matter of Express Indus. and Term. Corp. v New York State Dept. of Transp., 93 NY2d 584 [1999]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
