LECLAIR KORONA GIORDANO COLE LLP, ROCHESTER (JEREMY M. SHER OF COUNSEL), FOR PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT AND THIRD-PARTY DEFENDANT RESPONDENT.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Kenneth R. Fisher, J.), entered August 14, 2014. The judgment awarded plaintiff money damages of $72,800, plus interest, costs and disbursements.

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: Defendants-third-party plaintiffs (defendants) appeal from a judgment that, inter alia, dismissed pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (7) their third-party "counter-claim[s] and cause[s] of action" (counterclaims) asserting tortious interference of contract and conversion. Inasmuch as defendants failed to oppose that part of plaintiff's and third-party defendant's motion seeking to dismiss those counterclaims, defendants' contentions with respect thereto are not preserved for our review (see Ladd v Hudson Val. Ambulance Serv ., 142 AD2d 17, 21; see generally Ciesinski v Town of Aurora , 202 AD2d 984, 985).
