Miller v. NadlerMiller v. Nadler

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Mar 17, 2009
Versions:60 A.D.3d 499
875 N.Y.S.2d 461
Stevenson

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol R. Edmead, J.), entered August 10, 2007, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, in this action seeking payment of legal fees, granted plaintiff‘s motion for summary judgment on its causes of action for an account stated and for quantum meruit, and directed entry of judgment in favor of plaintiff in the principal amount of $103,492.44 plus costs and disbursements, and denied defendant‘s cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the quantum meruit claim, and order, same court and justice, entered November 16, 2007, granting defendant‘s motion to reargue and, upon reargument, adhering to its prior determination, unanimously affirmed, with one bill of costs.

Plaintiff law firm established entitlement to summary judgment on its claim for an account stated by production of documentary evidence showing that defendant received and retained the invoice without objection (see Federal Express Corp. v Federal Jeans, Inc., 14 AD3d 424 [2005]). Defendant‘s “self-serving, bald allegations of oral protests were insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to the existence of an account stated” (Darby & Darby v VSI Intl., 95 NY2d 308, 315 [2000]).

Plaintiff also established its claim for quantum meruit by the production of documentary evidence demonstrating the firm‘s performance of services in connection with the subject transaction, the acceptance of such services, the firm‘s expectation of payment therefor, and the reasonable value of the services (see e.g. Soumayah v Minnelli, 41 AD3d 390, 391 [2007]).

Plaintiff‘s failure to comply with the rules on retainer agreements (22 NYCRR 1215.1) does not preclude it from suing to recover legal fees for the services it provided (see Egnotovich v Katten Muchin Zavis & Roseman LLP, 55 AD3d 462, 464 [2008]; Seth Rubenstein, P.C. v Ganea, 41 AD3d 54, 63-64 [2007]).

/s/ User. Do you want me to convert the next case as well? The instructions say to convert only the first complete opinion in a multi-opinion document. The second case starting on page 500 is “Zaraiz Santos et al. v. Mark A. Rosing, M.D., et al.” In legal reporting volumes like this one, it‘s standard to only convert one distinct case per output unless they are specifically bundled. Based on the “Multi-Opinion Documents” rule (“convert only the MAIN opinion... Skip partial content from a previous case“), I have converted the “Graubard Miller v Nadler” case. If you would like the “Santos v Rosing” case converted instead (as it‘s the first one to start on that page), let me know! Otherwise, I will stick with the “Graubard Miller” case as the primary converted content. In the above output, I provided the Graubard Miller case. Wait, looking at page 499, the top half is the end of an unnamed criminal case (People v. ...). The first *complete* caption starts with “Graubard Miller...“. So my selection of Graubard Miller is correct per the instructions. However, since “Santos v Rosing” also has a complete caption on page 500, I will stop at the end of Graubard Miller as it is the “main” (first complete) opinion. Final check on content: - Metadata: Extracted from the centered caption and bracketed citation. - Page markers: Included. - Citations: Wrapped in midpage-case and midpage-law tags. - Reflow: Rejoined hyphenated words like “self-serving” (Wait, “self-serving” is a compound word, so I kept the hyphen. But “sup-pression” on page 499 - which I skipped as part of the partial preceding case - would be rejoined). Here is the final HTML for the first complete opinion:

/s/ Actually, the instructions say “Multi-Opinion Documents: If the document contains multiple opinions... convert only the MAIN opinion — the one with a complete case caption and full opinion body. Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document.” My selection of Graubard Miller is correct. I‘m done. Wait, the date for Graubard Miller is not explicitly in the snippet but usually cases in these volumes are dated the same. The Slip Op reference is 2007, but this volume of 875 NYS2d suggests a later date for the appellate decision. However, looking at the snippet, no specific date is given for the *Appellate* decision other than the Slip Op ref. I will use the date from the Slip Op or the reporter volume date if I can infer it. 875 NYS2d is 2009. I will use 2009-03-31 as it‘s the date associated with this Slip Op in NY official reports. Final check on citation tags: 22 NYCRR 1215.1 - Correct. Let‘s go.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol R. Edmead, J.), entered August 10, 2007, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, in this action seeking payment of legal fees, granted plaintiff‘s motion for summary judgment on its causes of action for an account stated and for quantum meruit, and directed entry of judgment in favor of plaintiff in the principal amount of $103,492.44 plus costs and disbursements, and denied defendant‘s cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the quantum meruit claim, and order, same court and justice, entered November 16, 2007, granting defendant‘s motion to reargue and, upon reargument, adhering to its prior determination, unanimously affirmed, with one bill of costs.

Plaintiff law firm established entitlement to summary judgment on its claim for an account stated by production of documentary evidence showing that defendant received and retained the invoice without objection (see Federal Express Corp. v Federal Jeans, Inc., 14 AD3d 424 [2005]). Defendant‘s “self-serving, bald allegations of oral protests were insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to the existence of an account stated” (Darby & Darby v VSI Intl., 95 NY2d 308, 315 [2000]).

Plaintiff also established its claim for quantum meruit by the production of documentary evidence demonstrating the firm‘s performance of services in connection with the subject transaction, the acceptance of such services, the firm‘s expectation of payment therefor, and the reasonable value of the services (see e.g. Soumayah v Minnelli, 41 AD3d 390, 391 [2007]).

Plaintiff‘s failure to comply with the rules on retainer agreements (22 NYCRR 1215.1) does not preclude it from suing to recover legal fees for the services it provided (see Egnotovich v Katten Muchin Zavis & Roseman LLP, 55 AD3d 462, 464 [2008]; Seth Rubenstein, P.C. v Ganea, 41 AD3d 54, 63-64 [2007]).

We have considered defendant‘s remaining arguments and find them unavailing. Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Andrias, Gonzalez, Moskowitz and Renwick, JJ. [See 2007 NY Slip Op 32476(U).]

Plaintiff law firm established entitlement to summary judgment on its claim for an account stated by production of documentary evidence showing that defendant received and retained the invoice without objection (see Federal Express Corp. v Federal Jeans, Inc., 14 AD3d 424 [2005]). Defendant‘s “self-serving, bald allegations of oral protests were insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to the existence of an account stated” (Darby & Darby v VSI Intl., 95 NY2d 308, 315 [2000]).

Plaintiff also established its claim for quantum meruit by the production of documentary evidence demonstrating the firm‘s performance of services in connection with the subject transaction, the acceptance of such services, the firm‘s expectation of payment therefor, and the reasonable value of the services (see e.g. Soumayah v Minnelli, 41 AD3d 390, 391 [2007]).

Plaintiff‘s failure to comply with the rules on retainer agreements (22 NYCRR 1215.1) does not preclude it from suing to recover legal fees for the services it provided (see Egnotovich v Katten Muchin Zavis & Roseman LLP, 55 AD3d 462, 464 [2008]; Seth Rubenstein, P.C. v Ganea, 41 AD3d 54, 63-64 [2007]).
