Paul M. Aloi, Rochester, for defendant-appellant.

Adams Leclair LLP, Rochester (Aasiyah Ali of counsel), for plaintiff-respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Ontario County (Daniel J. Doyle, J.), entered March 22, 2024. The order, insofar as appealed from, granted in part the motion of plaintiff for, inter alia, partial summary judgment with respect to liability on his conversion cause of action and to preclude evidence on the ground of spoliation and denied the cross-motion of defendant Clark L. Rittersbach, doing business as Platinum Classic Motorcars, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint against him.

It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs for reasons stated in the decision at Supreme Court. Present—Bannister, J.P., Montour, Ogden, DelConte and Keane, JJ.
