City One
Real Estate, LLC v. 535 Carlton Avenue Realty Corp. (300 A.D. 2d 337)--
broker established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on two separate contracts
by submitting a copy of the leases between landlord and its tenant wherein landlord promised to pay
broker $ 50,000 for its brokerage services; landlord and tenant failed to come forward with evidence sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to their claim that they collectively
owed the
broker only one $ 50,000 commission for services in connection with leasing the two premises.
