Rackis v Adelman 2005 NY Slip Op 06018 [20 AD3d 519] July 18, 2005 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, September 21, 2005

Linda A. Rackis, Appellant,
v
Robert C. Adelman, Respondent.

—[*1]In a matrimonial action in which the parties were divorced by judgment dated April 21, 1994, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by her brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Panepinto, J.), dated July 20, 2004, as denied her motion for summary judgment on her claim for child support arrears in the sum of $63,120 for the period from March 31, 1994, to April 22, 2004.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on her claim for child support arrears. The motion was made before the defendant had an opportunity to conduct discovery. In any event, the defendant's affidavit submitted in opposition to the motion constituted sufficient proof by a person having knowledge of the facts to raise a triable issue of fact with respect to the terms of an oral agreement allegedly entered into by the parties (see CPLR 3212 [b]; DeLeonardis v Brown, 15 AD3d 525 [2005]; Harbor Seafood v Quality Fish Co., 194 AD2d 713 [1993]). Thus, the Supreme Court correctly denied the plaintiff's motion. Florio, J.P., Krausman, Spolzino and Lifson, JJ., concur.
