[*1]Louis F. Burke PC, Plaintiff-Respondent,

v

Ahmed Aezah, et al., Defendants-Appellants.

Joseph A. Altman, P.C., Bronx (Joseph A. Altman of counsel), for appellants.

Winget, Spadafora & Schwartzberg, LLP, New York (Anthony D. Green of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (David Benjamin Cohen, J.), entered January 3, 2018, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted plaintiff's motion to dismiss defendants' counterclaims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, legal malpractice, and violation of Judiciary Law § 487, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

We find that the motion court's dismissal of the counterclaims was proper and that defendants have not articulated any basis to disturb the motion court's ruling (Leon v Martinez , 84 NY2d 83, 87-88 [1994]). We have considered the remaining arguments and find them unavailing.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: JANUARY 29, 2019
