Peralta v. Martin

Appellate Term of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 17, 2010
2010 N.Y. Slip Op. 50229 (N.Y. App. Term 2010)

Opinion

570737/09.

Decided February 17, 2010.

Plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Raul Cruz, J.), entered February 25, 2009, which denied his motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of liability.

PRESENT: McKeon, P.J., Shulman, Hunter, JJ.


Order (Raul Cruz, J.), entered February 25, 2009, affirmed, with $10 costs.

Plaintiff failed to make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law ( see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851). Plaintiff's evidence, consisting of a conclusory affidavit that provided essentially no details regarding the subject motor vehicle accident, coupled with the responding police officer's notations regarding the location of the damage to the respective vehicles based upon his post-accident observations, did not eliminate all material issues of fact as to how the accident occurred and whether plaintiff acted with reasonable care ( see Goldenberg v Palewicz, 65 AD3d 518). Therefore, plaintiff's motion was properly denied without regard to the sufficiency of defendant's opposing papers ( see Franco v Rizzo, 61 AD3d 818).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.

I concur I concur I concur.
