In an action to recover damages based on the claim that defendant's oral statement concerning plaintiff was slander per se, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated May 31, 1961, which granted defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint for patent insufficiency, with leave to replead. Order affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements. A statement that plaintiff's argument against a community project was motivated by personal gain is not slander per se. ( Foot v. Pitt, 83 App. Div. 76.) Plaintiff's time to serve an amended complaint is extended until 20 days after entry of the order hereon. Beldock, P.J., Ughetta, Kleinfeld, Christ and Hopkins, JJ., concur.
