Motion to resettle the order and memorandum of this court dated May 27, 1988 granted to the extent that the memorandum decision of this court dated May 27, 1988 [140 AD2d 957] is amended by deleting the first two sentences of the second paragraph thereof and inserting in its place the following: "The court erred however in denying summary judgment to defendant Gardner Electric, Inc.
