Memorandum: Plaintiffs and defendant executed a lease for a restaurant for a two-year period to end on April 30, 2005 and, in March 2005, defendant padlocked the doors of the restaurant, thus preventing plaintiffs from entering it. Plaintiffs commenced this action seeking, inter alia, damages for the allegedly wrongful eviction and seeking the return of a $25,000 “inventory deposit.” Defendant asserted numerous counterclaims in his answer seeking, inter alia, compensation for damage to the property. Plaintiffs moved for summary judgment on the complaint as well as dismissal of the counterclaims. Supreme Court denied the motion and, in its bench decision, dismissed the claim for punitive damages sought by plaintiffs in their motion. We note that, although the order does not address the issue of punitive damages, the decision is controlling in the event *1518that “there is a conflict between an order and a decision” (Innovative Transmission & Engine Co., LLC v Massaro, 37 AD3d 1199, 1201 [2007]). We therefore modify the order accordingly.
