The appeal is dismissed because the first defendant failed to show any credible triable issue: an oral statement cannot transfer legal title to land; the defendant's conduct was consistent with caretaker/manager status rather than adverse possession or intention to appropriate; the plaintiff's claim is within the 12-year limitation period; and the first defendant's pre-bankruptcy counterclaims vested in the trustee and are not maintainable by him without consent.
