MEMORANDUM DECISION.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Huff, J.), entered June 17, 1993, which, insofar as appealed from, granted defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' causes of action for negligent misrepresentation and fraud, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The cause of action for negligent misrepresentation was properly dismissed on the ground that a "special relationship" giving rise to a duty to impart correct information could not be discerned from the arm's length dealings between the parties alleged in the complaint (see, Delcor Laboratories, Inc. v. Cosmair, Inc., 169 A.D.2d 639, 639-640, 564 N.Y.S.2d 771, app. dismissed 78 N.Y.2d 952, 573 N.Y.S.2d 646, 578 N.E.2d 444). Coolite Corp. v. American Cyanamid Co., 52 A.D.2d 486, 384 N.Y.S.2d 808, upon which plaintiffs rely, does not suggest a different result, since there the relationship between the parties was already in existence when the alleged negligent misrepresentations were made (see, Pappas v. Harrow Stores, Inc., 140 A.D.2d 501, 505, 528 N.Y.S.2d 404). As for the cause of action for fraud, while it may allege the partial, and therefore misleading, disclosure of an existing fact (see, Stambovsky v. Ackley, 169 A.D.2d 254, 257-258, 572 N.Y.S.2d 672), rather than mere nonactionable expressions as to future conduct as defendant maintains, this...
