NEW YORK FRUIT AUCTION CORPORATION, Appellant, v. CITY OF NEW YORK, Respondent.

MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

Plaintiff's allegations of fraudulent misrepresentations are fatally inadequate, among other reasons, because the alleged representations, "more precatory than promissory", at best were only unenforceable misrepresentations of future intent (cf. Woodmere Academy v Steinberg, 41 N.Y.2d 746, 752). Moreover, none of the alleged representations are included in the lease approved, as required, by the New York City Charter (§ 704, subd [g]).

Finally, because the representations claimed permeated all the causes of action, including the otherwise conclusorily pleaded one based on unconscionability, the Appellate Division properly dismissed all four pursuant to CPLR 3211 (subd [a], par 7).

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
