2004The Court held (at 402) that “it is not enough for the district judge to find that ‘the defendant (is) oriented to time and place and (has) some recollection of events,’ but that the ‘test must be whether he has sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding — and whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him.’ ” The Dusky test for capacity has been adopted as the standard in New York (People v Mendez, 1 NY3d 15, 19 [2003]; People v Francabandera, 33 NY2d 429 [1974]). 8 The following six facto

2009“The mere fact that the defendant ] collected the proceeds and the plaintiff may be unaware of the exact amount to which it is entitled does not make the defendant [a] fiduciar[y]” (National Comm. on Observance of Mother’s Day v Kirby, Block & Co., 17 AD2d 390, 391 [1962] [citation omitted]; see Waldman v Englishtown Sportswear, 92 AD2d 833, 835-836 [1983]; Sinkwich v Drew & Co., 2 AD2d 788, 789 [1956]; Freeman v Miller, 157 App Div 715, 719 [1913]).

1984What defendants received was the proceeds from the sales of their own goods, a part of which proceeds, when ascertained, they would owe to plaintiff * * * As the complaint shows no ground for equitable relief, a motion to dismiss on that ground before answer should have been granted”. (17 AD2d, at pp 391-392.) The National Committee case was cited with approval in Waldman v Englishtown Sportswear ( 92 AD2d 833, 835 ).

Samiento v. World Yacht Inc.green

2013Indeed, we previously deferred to the DOL’s reading of Labor Law § 196-d, the very statute at the heart of this case (see Samiento, 10 NY3d at 79 [agreeing with the DOL that a charge that is not voluntary may nevertheless be a “charge purported to be a gratuity” within the meaning of the first sentence of section 196-d such that the employer may not pocket it]).

2013Because the first certified question, as framed by the Second Circuit, centers on the term “agent” rather than the phrase “similar employee,” the DOL suggests that we slightly reformulate it to ask: “What factors determine whether an employee is eligible or ineligible to receive distributions from an employer-mandated tip-splitting arrangement?” We accept the DOL’s reframed first question and now turn to the task of answering it. 2 We have recognized that the DOL’s “interpretation of a statute it is charged with enforcing is entitled to deference” (Samiento, 10 NY3d at 79 ; see also Matter of
