OPINION OF THE COURT
Murphy, P. J.
Defendant Viva International, Ltd. brought this motion to dismiss the four causes of action set forth in the complaint for legal insufficiency (CPLR 3211, subd [a], par 7).
Plaintiff Edison and defendant Viva entered into a letter agreement, dated December 31, 1976, pursuant to which plaintiff agreed to write an article of approximately 4,000 words on "Why Do Men Hate Barbara Walters”. This proceeding was brought because the defendant allegedly published the article in content and form substantially different from plaintiff’s completed article.
