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.
