Head Matter:
James Myers et al., Respondents, v L & M Developers et al., Defendants, and Oneida Savings Bank, Appellant.
(Appeal No. 2.)

Opinion:
Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs, motion granted and complaint dismissed as against defendant Oneida Savings Bank. Memorandum: The complaint fails to state a cause of action against defendant Oneida Savings Bank. The Bank had no duty to plaintiffs to assure that a certificate of occupancy was properly issued. The provision in the mortgage commitment requiring receipt of a certificate of occupancy before closing was for the protection of the mortgagor bank and not for the benefit of plaintiffs.
