ANDOR GROUP, INC., Respondent, v. DAVID BENNINGHOFF et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the defendant's motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.

Before a plaintiff may secure redress for the breach of an agreement, the promise made by the defendant must be sufficiently certain and specific so that the parties' intentions are ascertainable. Thus, an agreement to agree, which leaves material terms of a proposed contract for future negotiation, is unenforceable (see, Martin Delicatessen v Schumacher, 52 N.Y.2d 105, 109; Rouzani v Rapp, 203 A.D.2d 446; Danton Constr. Corp. v Bonner, 173 A.D.2d 759; Bernstein v Felske, 143 A.D.2d 863). The letter of intent executed by the plaintiff and the defendant Sports Medicine Group by its terms contemplated the execution of a formal contract, and left out material terms so that the intent of the parties cannot be ascertained. Thus, the court should have granted summary judgment to the defendants. Balletta, J.P., Thompson, Santucci, Altman and Hart, JJ., concur.
