115 N.Y.S.3d 234

2019 NY Slip Op 08621

Robert Pritsker, Appellant, v. Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp. et al., Respondents.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.

Decided December 3, 2019.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert Pritsker, appellant pro se.

Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt, LLP, New York ( Richard Trotter of counsel), for respondents.

Concur—Friedman, J.P., Oing, Singh, Moulton, JJ.


This is, essentially, an action for conversion. Plaintiff's fraud allegations do not constitute independent claims for fraud and constructive fraud; rather, they form the building blocks for his argument that equitable estoppel should toll the statute of limitations for conversion (see Simcuski v Saeli, 44 N.Y.2d 442, 448 [1978]).

The complaint fails to state a cause of action for conversion.
