Opinion
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ira Gammerman, J.), entered March 9, 2004, dismissing the action, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
This action, asserting claims virtually identical to those dismissed in a prior federal action (Gentile v Jobete Music Co., Inc., 1996 WL 148427, 1996 US Dist LEXIS 4011 [SD NY, Apr. 2, 1996], affd 122 F3d 1056 [table; text at 1997 WL 559850, 1997 US App LEXIS 23614 (2d Cir 1997)]) and, in any event, premised upon identical underlying transactions, is barred under the doctrine of res judicata (see O’Brien v City of Syracuse, 54 NY2d 353, 357 [1981]).
We have considered plaintiffs remaining contentions and find them unavailing. Concur—Tom, J.P., Mazzarelli, Saxe, Ellerin and Nardelli, JJ.
