v.
GUY G. GIULIANO, Respondent.
No. 2006-11521
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Second Department.
Decided July 29, 2008.

In an action, inter alia, to compel the release of money from an escrow account, the plaintiff appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Bunyan, J.), dated September 15, 2005, as denied his motion for summary judgment on the complaint, with leave to renew after joinder of necessary parties.


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The Supreme Court, which correctly concluded that certain nonparties were necessary parties to the action (see CPLR 1001 [a]; cf. Matter of Lezette v Board of Educ., Hudson City School Dist., 35 NY2d 272, 282 [1974]), properly denied the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, with leave to renew upon the nonparties' joinder (see Salomon Bros. Realty Corp. v Alvarez, 22 AD3d 482 [2005]).

The plaintiff's remaining contention is beyond the scope of our review (see CPLR 5515 [1]; Cardinal Holdings v Chandre Corp., 302 AD2d 550, 551 [2003]).

Fisher, J.P., Lifson, Covello and McCarthy, JJ., concur.
