Fauci Fauci, P.C., New York (Anthony J. Fauci of counsel), for appellant.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Dona B. Morris of counsel), for The City of New York, respondent.

Law Office of Steven G. Fauth, New York (Peter Gannon of counsel), for Clinton Towers Housing Co., Inc. and P L Management and Consulting, respondents.

Gordon Silber, P.C., New York (Jill M. Dworzanski of counsel), for Wajdi Farah Abuzahrieh and Duane Reade, Inc., respondents.

Before: Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ.


The action, for personal injuries sustained in 2000, was properly dismissed as against the property owner and its management company for lack of evidence that either made any efforts to remove the snow and ice that allegedly caused plaintiff's fall ( see Stein v. State St. Bank Trust Co. of Conn. Natl. Assn., 279 AD2d 427). As against defendant City, the action was properly dismissed upon a showing that snow and ice was falling at the time of the accident ( see Valentine v. City of New York, 86 AD2d 381, affd 57 NY2d 932; Prince v. New York City Hous. Auth., 302 AD2d 285). As against plaintiff's pharmacy and pharmacist, the IAS court properly searched the record and correctly found that the phenobarbital they had mistakenly dispensed to plaintiff was dispensed after the accident, and therefore could not have contributed to plaintiff's injuries. Concur — Tom, J.P, Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ.
