Head Matter:
Daniel B. Meyer, Respondent, v Cessna Realty Associates et al., Defendants, and Richard J. Gillani, Appellant.
[643 NYS2d 446]

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly determined that the telephonic communication of the Receiver informing plaintiff that he accepted plaintiff's written offer to purchase real property resulted in a binding contract for the purchase of that property (see, Tymon v Linoki, 16 NY2d 293, 298-299, rearg denied 17 NY2d 612; Birch v McNall, 19 AD2d 850). The court, therefore, properly granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, directing specific performance of that contract (see, Matter of Denison, 114 NY 621, 622).
