SOLOMON ABRAHAMS, Appellant, v. COMMONWEALTH LAND TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The defendant established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating that it did not breach its fiduciary duty, as escrow depositary, to the depositor. The defendant showed that it properly disbursed escrow funds, in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement, to the judgment creditor to satisfy a judgment for which the funds had been placed in escrow ( see Cash v Titan Fin. Servs., Inc., 58 AD3d 785, 790; see generally Rut v Young Adult Inst., Inc., 74 AD3d 776; Takayama v Schaefer, 240 AD2d 21, 25). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact.

The plaintiffs remaining contentions are without merit.

Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
