Housman & Associates, P.C., Tarrytown, N.Y. (Mark E. Housman of counsel), forthird-party defendant-respondent.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for unlawful eviction, and a related third-partyaction to recover damages for legal malpractice, the defendant third-party plaintiff appeals froman order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (O. Bellantoni, J.), entered January 28,2008, which granted the third-party defendant's motion to dismiss the amended third-partycomplaint pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Under the circumstances of this case, we agree with the Supreme Court that the third-partycomplaint failed to state a cause of action to recover damages for legal malpractice (seeCPLR 3211 [a] [7]).

The appellant's remaining contention is without merit. Santucci, J.P., Angiolillo, Belen andChambers, JJ., concur. [See 19 Misc 3d 1107(A), 2008 NY Slip Op 50580(U).]
