MANCHESTER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., f/k/a MANCHESTER EQUIPMENT CO., INC., respondent, v. DIDATA (NY) INC., d/b/a DAILY BUSINESS PRODUCTS, INC., ETC., appellant.

DECISION ORDER

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

"While the meaning of a contract is ordinarily a question of law, when a term or clause is ambiguous and the determination of the parties' intent depends upon the credibility of extrinsic evidence or a choice among inferences to be drawn from extrinsic evidence, then the issue is one of fact" (Amusement Bus. Underwriters v. American Intl. Group, 66 N.Y.2d 878, 880; Reiner v. Wenig, 269 A.D.2d 379). The stipulation which is the subject of this action is ambiguous and subject to different interpretations. Since the defendant's motion was made before discovery was completed, the Supreme Court properly denied its motion for summary judgment with leave to renew upon the completion of discovery (see Plaza Investments v. Kim, 208 A.D.2d 704).

FEUERSTEIN, J.P., FRIEDMANN, SCHMIDT and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
