Recitation as Required by CPLR §2219(a): The following papers were read on this Motion Papers Numbered Plaintiff’s Notice of Motion, Affirmation in Support, and Exhibit           1 Defendant’s Affirmation and Affidavit in Opposition           2 Plaintiff’s Affirmation in Reply, and Exhibit          3 Plaintiff Bank of America, N.A. asserts a single claim against defendant Carlos Figueroa for breach of a revolving credit agreement, based on defendant’s alleged non-payment of $5,310.57 in credit card charges. Defendant answered the complaint, asserting affirmative defenses of, inter alia, failure to state a claim and payment of the debt. Plaintiff now moves pursuant to CPLR §3212 for summary judgment on its claim. Defendant opposes. A party seeking summary judgment “must make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, tendering sufficient evidence to eliminate any material issues of fact from the case” (Winegrad v. New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853 [1985]). Once this showing is made, the burden shifts to the opposing party to produce evidentiary proof in admissible form sufficient to establish the existence of triable issues of fact (Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 NY2d 557, 562 [1980]). “[M]ere conclusions, expressions of hope or unsubstantiated allegations or assertions are insufficient” to defeat summary judgment (id.). Summary judgment is a drastic remedy and must be denied if there is any doubt as to the existence of a triable issue of material fact (Rotuba Extruders, Inc. v. Ceppos, 46 NY2d 223, 231 [1978]). To prevail on a claim for breach of contract, a plaintiff must prove the existence of a contract, plaintiff’s performance, defendant’s breach, and resulting damages (Second Source Funding, LLC v. Yellowstone Capital, LLC, 144 AD3d 445, 445-46 [1st Dept 2016]). Here, plaintiff submits in support of its prima facie case the affirmation of Sherri Griffin, a custodian of records and “authorized officer” for plaintiff, who bases her sworn statement on her personal review of plaintiff’s business records (Ex. D to Rose Affirm. at 1). Griffin states that, by virtue of her position with plaintiff, she has personal knowledge of plaintiff’s processes and procedures for creating and maintaining its business records and delivering to customers monthly billing statements and the terms and conditions of their accounts (id. at
