Description
Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: This appeal is from an order which vacated an attorneys charging lien filed, pursuant to section 475 of the Judiciary Law, against a portion of the proceeds due under a judgment rendered in this tax certiorari proceeding. Appellant contends that there was a fee-splitting agreement between its firm and T. Crouse Barnum, the attorney of record, which permitted them to share in any contingent fee received as a result of the tax assessment litigation. In its petition, appellant alleges claims which may form the basis for a contractual claim (see People v Keeffe, 50 N.Y.2d 149, 155), but we find no allegations sufficient to support a lien against the moneys available for satisfaction of the judgment (cf. Matter of Gutchess, 90 A.D.2d 663, 664). [96 A.D.2d 723 Page 724]
