| Dover Gourmet Corporation, Appellant, v Nassau Health CareCorporation, Also Known as NuHealth, Respondent. |
—[*1] Garfunkel Wild, P.C., Great Neck, N.Y. (Michael J. Keane, Kevin G. Donoghue, and Jason Hsiof counsel), for respondent.
In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for breach of contract, and for declaratory andinjunctive relief, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Driscoll, J.),entered November 29, 2010, which denied its motion for a preliminary injunction.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
To obtain a preliminary injunction, a movant must demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence,(1) a likelihood of success on the merits, (2) irreparable injury absent a preliminary injunction, and (3) abalancing of the equities in the movant's favor (see CPLR 6301; Aetna Ins. Co. vCapasso, 75 NY2d 860, 862 [1990]; Arcamone-Makinano v Britton Prop., Inc., 83 AD3d 623 [2011]; S.J.J.K. Tennis, Inc. v Confer Bethpage,LLC, 81 AD3d 629 [2011]; Volunteer Fire Assn. of Tappan, Inc. v County of Rockland, 60 AD3d666, 667 [2009]). The decision whether to grant or deny a preliminary injunction rests in thesound discretion of the Supreme Court (see Doe v Axelrod, 73 NY2d 748, 750 [1988]; Rowland v Dushin, 82 AD3d 738[2011]; Trump on the Ocean, LLC vAsh, 81 AD3d 713, 715 [2011]; City of Long Beach v Sterling Am. Capital, LLC, 40 AD3d 902[2007]). Under the circumstances of this case, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretionin denying the plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction.
