PAUL I. KROHN, ETC., respondent, v. FELIX INDUSTRIES, INC., ET AL., appellants.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the appeals from the order are dismissed; and it is further,

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed; and it is further,

ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the plaintiff.

The appeals from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action (see Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on the appeals from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeals from the judgment (see CPLR 5501[a][1]).

Pursuant to an agreement between Argrett Enterprises Corp. (hereinafter Argrett) and the defendant Felix Industries, Inc., and a separate agreement between Argrett and the defendant Felix Equities, Inc., Argrett provided materials and services to the defendants. Argrett declared bankruptcy, and the plaintiff was named its trustee in bankruptcy. The plaintiff commenced this action against the defendants to recover amounts due and owing for the materials and services Argrett provided which the defendants failed to pay. The Supreme Court granted the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on the second and third causes of action. The defendants now appeal, and we affirm.

The grant of summary judgment in the plaintiff's favor was proper. We reject the defendants' claim that the affirmation submitted by the plaintiff's attorney failed to adequately support the motion. Although the affirmation was not based on facts within the attorney's personal knowledge, this did not serve to defeat the plaintiff's motion insofar as the affirmation was supported by documentary proof before the Supreme Court (see Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, Stiber v. Cotrone, 153 A.D.2d 1006; Dyer v. Uline, 142 A.D.2d 879; Olan v. Farrell Lines, 64 N.Y.2d 1092, 1093). Additionally, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the defendants, as we are required to do (see Passonno v. Hall, 125 A.D.2d 767, 768), the Supreme Court properly found that no triable issue of fact exists.

The defendants' remaining contentions are without merit.

GOLDSTEIN, J.P., McGINITY, ADAMS and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
