—[*1] Abrams, Gorelick, Friedman & Jacobson, P.C., New York (Michael E. Gorelick of counsel),for respondent.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (James A. Yates, J.), entered December 7, 2010,which denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granted defendant's cross motion forsummary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
In this action for breach of contract based on a commercial property policy issued bydefendant insurer to plaintiff property owner, defendant established its entitlement to judgment asa matter of law by showing that plaintiff commenced this action after expiration of the two-yearlimitations period contained in the policy (see Gilbert Frank Corp. v Federal Ins. Co., 70NY2d 966, 967-968 [1988]). In opposition, plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as towhether the action was governed by the six-year statute of limitations set forth in CPLR 213(id.). Moreover, plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to waiver or estoppel(id.).
Because plaintiff's claim is barred by the applicable two-year statute of limitations, wedecline to consider any remaining arguments. Concur—Tom, J.P., Saxe, Sweeney, Richterand Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
