Hess Corporation, Appellant, v Genesis Realty Group LLC, Defendant, and Haran Realty Co., LLC, et al., Respondents.
    [995 NYS2d 508]
   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Shlomo Hagler, J.), entered March 25, 2014, which denied plaintiffs motion for summary judgment against defendants-respondents, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and the motion granted. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.

Since there is no underlying or master agreement for the purchase of fuel oil from plaintiff by defendants-respondents, “each shipment represents a separate agreement to purchase [fuel oil]” (Sharp Elecs. Corp. v Arkin-Medo, Inc., 86 AD2d 817 [1st Dept 1982], affd 58 NY2d 986 [1983]). Thus, Uniform Commercial Code § 2-717 is inapplicable, and defendants-respondents are not entitled to withhold payment for fuel oil deliveries in 2010 to offset payments made for earlier fuel oil deliveries on which they believe they may have been shorted.

Concur — Tom, J.E, Friedman, Andrias, Feinman and Kapnick, JJ.
