9139. STUART STRUMWASSER, plfap, v. LISA ZEIDERMAN, ESQ. def-res, MARTIN BLAUSTEIN def — Keith D. Silverstein, P.A., Great Neck (Keith D. Silverstein of counsel), for ap — Traub Lieberman Straus & Shrewsberry LLP, Hawthorne (Lisa L. Shrewsberry of counsel), for res — Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Joan A. Madden, J.), entered November 9, 2011, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted defendants Lisa Zeiderman, Esq. and Johnson & Cohen, LLP’s motion to dismiss the Judiciary Law §487(1) causes of action as against them, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Plaintiff alleges that defendant Zeiderman submitted to the court in plaintiff’s divorce action a document with a page intentionally switched to conceal the unreliability of certain projections relating to a start-up company founded by plaintiff in which he and his former wife held a minority interest. This single alleged act of deceit is not sufficiently egregious to support a claim under Judiciary Law §487(1) (compare Kurman v. Schnapp, 73 AD3d 435 [1st Dept 2010] [sustaining Judiciary Law §487(1) claim based on defendant's alleged deceit or attempted deceit of court with fictitious letter from former licensing director of Taxi and Limousine Commission referring to lifetime ban on plaintiff's owning any TLC licenses]).
