The following e-filed documents, listed by NYSCEF document number (Motion 001) 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 32 were read on this motion to/for DISMISSAL. DECISION + ORDER ON MOTION Upon the foregoing documents, it is hereby ordered: The motion by defendants Nancy Nederlander and Lauren Gordon to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7) is granted in part, based upon the following memorandum decision.
