   OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

It being undisputed that no agency or contractual relationship existed between the parties, a cause of action for conspiracy to interfere with that relationship does not lie (Brackett v Griswold, 112 NY 454, 466-467). Hence, defendants were properly granted summary judgment.

Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer concur in memorandum.

Order affirmed.
