The appellants’ contention that the plaintiff lacked standing to commence this action pursuant to Business Corporation Law § 720 was not properly raised and, in any event, is without merit (see Abrams v Donati, 66 NY2d 951, 953 [1985]; Kaplan v Queens Optometric Assoc., 293 AD2d 449, 450 [2002]; Brown v Brown, 143 AD2d 248, 249 [1988]).
The plaintiff established a sufficient basis for the appointment of a temporary receiver pursuant to CPLR 6401 (a) (see Hoffman v Eagle Box Co., 305 AD2d 544 [2003]; Matter of Kristensen v Charleston Sq., 273 AD2d 312 [2000]; Modern Collection Assoc. v Capital Group, 140 AD2d 594 [1988]; Nesis v Paris Intl. Light., 184 AD2d 485, 486 [1992]; Nelson v Nelson, 99 AD2d 917 [1984]).
The appellants’ remaining contentions are without merit (see State of New York v Chatsworth Realty Corp., 284 AD2d 260, 261 [2001]; 3-12 White, New York Business Entities P B1202.01 [Matthew Bender 2005]). Rivera, J.P., Ritter, Goldstein and Angiolillo, JJ., concur.
