Evangelia KAPAROS, Appellant, v. BAY RIDGE MITSUBISHI, Respondent.

Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division, Second Department.

April 20, 1998.

Jason M. Shulman, New York City, for appellant.

Thomas M. Bona, P.C., White Plains (William B. Hildebrand, of counsel), for respondent.

In an action to recover damages for breach of warranty, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (G. Aronin, J.), dated March 17, 1997, which granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint as barred by the Statute of Limitations.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

We agree with the Supreme Court that the plaintiff's action is barred by the four-year Statute of Limitations imposed by Uniform Commercial Code § 2-725 (see, Heller v. U.S. Suzuki Motor Corp., 64 N.Y.2d 407, 488 N.Y.S.2d 132, 477 N.E.2d 434; Doyle v. Happy Tumbler Wash-O-Mat, 90 A.D.2d 366, 457 N.Y.S.2d 85; Weinstein v. General Motors Corp., 51 A.D.2d 335, 381 N.Y.S.2d 283; Constable v. Colonie Truck Sales, 37 A.D.2d 1011, 325 N.Y.S.2d 601).
