MEMORANDUM DECISION.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered September 12, 1979, which granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment to the extent of dismissing defendant's counterclaim for the balance due and which granted defendant's cross-motion for summary judgment and dismissed plaintiff's complaint for, Inter alia, reinstatement, modified, on the law, to the extent of reversing the grant of plaintiff's motion for summary judgment dismissing defendant's counterclaim, plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is denied and the grant to plaintiff of costs and disbursements is vacated, and, as so modified, affirmed, without costs and disbursements.

Ordinarily, this would mandate denial of summary judgment relief as CPLR 3212(b) provides that a motion for summary judgment shall be supported by a copy of the pleadings. Further, we have held that the pleadings are a requisite part of the record of a CPLR 3212 motion and omission of same mandates denial of summary judgment relief (Krasner v. Transcontinental Equities, 64 A.D.2d 551, 407 N.Y.S.2d 625 (1st Dept. 1978)). However, pursuant to stipulation "so ordered" by a Justice of this Court, the parties have been permitted to file a supplemental record on appeal containing a copy of the pleadings. We therefore consider the merits of the motion and cross-motion for summary judgment.

Defendant on this record was entitled to expel plaintiff, regardless of whether there was an accord and satisfaction regarding the billing for the party given by plaintiff at defendant's premises. The only difference between our view of the record and that of our dissenting brother and the court below is the propriety of the dismissal of defendant's counterclaim for the balance due on that billing on the ground that an accord and satisfaction...
