GILBERT PROPERTIES, INC., Appellant, v. JACOB A. MILLSTEIN, Respondent.

Order affirmed, without costs, in the following memorandum: Plaintiff client's cause of action against defendant attorney for malpractice accrued, at the latest, when the attorney-client relationship between them ended in 1966. (Cf., e.g., Borgia v. City of New York, 12 N.Y.2d 151, 155; Siegel v. Kranis, 29 A.D.2d 477, 480; see, also, Note, 18 ALR 3d 985 et seq.) Consequently, since the plaintiff's suit for malpractice was commenced in 1970, the determination of the Appellate Division that the plaintiff's action was time-barred by the three-year period of limitations (CPLR 203; CPLR 214, subd. 6), though based on an earlier date of accrual, should be affirmed.

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges BURKE, BREITEL, JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES and WACHTLER.
