Upon the foregoing documents, and after oral argument, which took place on March 21, 2023, where Hal Beerman, Esq. appeared on behalf of the Plaintiff Chrysler East Building, L.L.C. (“Landlord”) and Matthew Livits, Esq. appeared on behalf of Defendant Abelman Frayne & Schwab (“Tenant”), Landlord’s motion for summary judgment is granted and Tenant’s cross-motion seeking an order allowing the parties to disclose settlement negotiations which are the subject of a non-disclosure agreement is denied. I. Background This is an action to recover allegedly unpaid rental arrears. Landlord commenced this action on July 8, 2021 via summons and complaint (NYSCEF Doc. 1).
