DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal by the defendants Chazen Engineering Land Surveying Co. and Chazen Environmental Services, Inc., is dismissed as abandoned ( see 22 NYCRR 670.8[c][e]); and it is further,
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as reviewed; and it is further,
ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the plaintiffs payable by the appellants Lee S. Wiederkehr, as trustee of the Joseph Roth Spray Trust, and Lee S. Wiederkehr, as personal representative of the estate of Joseph Roth.
On a motion to dismiss pursuant to CPLR 3211, our task is to determine whether the complaint states a cause of action, and the motion must be denied if, from the four corners of the complaint, factual allegations are discerned which taken together and accepted as true manifest any cause of action cognizable at law ( see 511 West 232nd Owners Corp. v. Jennifer Realty Co., 98 N.Y.2d 144, 151; Polonetsky v. Better Homes Depot, 97 N.Y.2d 46, 54; Guggenheimer v. Ginzburg, 43 N.Y.2d 268, 275). The pleadings are afforded a liberal construction and the plaintiff must be accorded the benefit of every possible favorable inference ( see Goshen v. Mutual Life Ins. Co., 98 N.Y.2d 314, 326; Leon v. Martinez, 84 N.Y.2d 83, 87-88). Applying that standard here, the Supreme Court properly denied those branches of the motion of the defendants Lee S. Wiederkehr, as trustee of the Joseph Roth Spray Trust, and Lee S. Wiederkehr, as personal representative of the estate of Joseph Roth, which were to dismiss the first, second, third, sixth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth causes of action.
