Plaintiffs' claims for breach of an alleged oral contract for the transfer and reconveyance some three years later of a parcel of real property, were properly dismissed since the purported agreement is void under the statute of frauds ( see General Obligations Law §§ 5-701, 5-703). Plaintiffs' allegations that they partially performed the agreement are insufficient to remove the agreement from the statute since the conduct relied upon, i.e., delivery of a deed, which did not recite the consideration paid for the property, is not unequivocally referable to the alleged agreement ( see Messner Vetere Berger McNamee Schmetterer Euro RSCG v. Aegis Group, 93 NY2d 229). Moreover, since the agreement was not performable within one year, plaintiffs' reliance upon part performance to remove the agreement from the statute's preclusive scope is, in any event, unavailing ( see General Obligations Law § 5-701; Stephen Pevner, Inc. v. Ensler, 309 AD2d 722).
We have reviewed plaintiffs' remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
