Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Barry R. Ostrager, J.), entered February 1, 2021, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted defendant's motion to dismiss the causes of action for negligence and gross negligence, unanimously affirmed, with costs. Appeal from order, same court and Justice, entered February 11, 2021, which granted defendant's motion to dismiss the remaining causes of action, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as abandoned.

Defendant, an appraiser retained by the nonparty lender to evaluate plaintiff borrower's property in connection with the lender's annual evaluation of the quality of the collateral, owed no duty to plaintiff (see Rotunno v Stiles, 7 AD3d 504 [2d Dept 2004]; Edelman v O'Toole-Ewald Art Assoc., Inc., 28 AD3d 250 [1st Dept 2006], lv denied 7 NY3d 706 [2006]; Lombard v Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Inc., 280 F3d 209, 217-218 [2d Cir 2002]).

Moreover, there is no indication in the record that plaintiff relied on, or could have acted on, the allegedly negligent appraisals, which were provided directly and solely to the lender (see Edelman, 28 AD3d at 251). Concur—Gische, J.P., Kapnick, Oing, Singh, JJ.
