Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order dismissing the legal malpractice action, holding that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie malpractice claim because the underlying third‑party action against the City was barred by the statute of limitations and lacked merit. Accordingly, the summary‑judgment dismissal was upheld.
