A motion for a preliminary injunction may be made either (1) when a defendant threatens to do an act in violation of plaintiff’s rights respecting the subject of the action, or (2) in an action seeking a permanent injunction (CPLR 6301). Only in the latter situation is the plaintiff required to submit the complaint (Seplow v Century Operating Co., 56 AD2d 515) or at least a summons with notice stating the object of the action (.Fairfield Presidential Assoc. v Pollins, 85 AD2d 653). Where, as here, the preliminary injunction is sought not on the basis of a cause of action for a permanent injunction, the pleading need not be annexed to the motion (7A Weinstein-Korn-Miller, NY Civ Prac, par 6312.05). Consequently, the amendment of that pleading during the pendency of the motion, in a manner of no consequence to the application for a preliminary injunction, can have no effect on its consideration (cf. 12 Carmody-Wait 2d, NY Prac, § 78:100, p 215).
