    Norman Sweeters, Jr., Appellant, v Daniel R. Hodges, Respondent.
    [683 NYS2d 9]
   —Order and judgment (one paper), Supreme Court, New York County (Lewis Friedman, J.), entered September 29, 1997, which denied plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and granted summary judgment in favor of defendant dismissing the action, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

A guarantor is liable to the creditor only for the amount of the principal obligor’s default (see, GE Capital Mtge. Servs. v Pinnacle Mtge. Inv. Corp., 897 F Supp 842, 848, n 3). Accordingly, because the principal obligor herein is not in default, its obligation having been duly suspended pursuant to the subordination agreement executed by plaintiff, no amount is now due under the guarantee upon which plaintiff premises his right to recover. Since there is no amount now due, plaintiff has not yet been damaged, and the action was properly dismissed (cf., Rodin Props.—Shore Mall v Ullman, 253 AD2d 403). We have considered plaintiffs remaining arguments and find them unavailing. Concur — Milonas, J. P., Rosenberger, Ellerin and Rubin, JJ.
