The first and second causes of action for breach of contract
Summary judgment was properly denied with respect to the fourth cause of action for quantum meruit based on plaintiffs procurement of an introduction to the Chairman of NAFTA Moscow, defendants’ acceptance of such services, which eventually enabled defendants to purchase one spot shipment of crude oil from NAFTA Moscow and the expectation of payment by plaintiff (see, Bauman Assocs. v H & M Inti. Transp., 171 AD2d 479, 484; Kalfin v United States Olympic Comm., 209 AD2d 279, 281).
We have considered the parties’ remaining contentions for affirmative relief and find them to be without merit. Concur— Sullivan, J. P., Ellerin, Rubin and Mazzarelli, JJ.
