Before THOMPSON, J.P., and BROWN, WEINSTEIN and BALLETTA, JJ.
MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
*498 In an action to recover damages for goods sold and delivered and to
recover on a personal guarantee executed by the defendant Louis Haber, the
plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Burke, J.),
dated August 17, 1987, which denied its motion for summary judgment as against
Louis Haber.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
It is uncontroverted that the goods for which payment was sought were sold
subsequent to the defendant Haber's oral notification to the plaintiff of the
sale of the corporate defendant. The sale was also made subsequent to the date
on which *499 the plaintiff accepted payment by Haber for all outstanding
obligations covered by the guarantee.
Under the circumstances, triable issues of fact exist with respect to the
circumstances surrounding the sale of the business, the effect of Haber's oral
notification and the conduct of the parties with respect to satisfaction of all
outstanding debts such that the denial of the plaintiff's motion for summary
judgment was proper.
