The claim is dismissed to the extent that the particular words complained of are not set forth in the complaint, as required by CPLR 3016[a]. Plaintiff's contention that the statements that were published in the New York Post had been incorporated into the complaint is unavailing, since the article was not annexed to the pleading.
