The complaint, when liberally construed (see, Elias v Handler, 155 AD2d 583) and considered in light of the evidentiary material appended to it (see, Bello v Cablevision Sys. Corp., 185 AD2d 262, 263), states a cause of action against the appellant. Rosenblatt, J. P., Sullivan, Copertino, Santucci and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
