Opinion
January 25, 2000
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Diane Lebedeff, J.), entered November 20, 1998, which, in an action for personal injuries caused by a slip and fall on a patch of ice in front of defendant property owner's building, granted motions by defendants property owner and snow removal contractor for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Elliot Weinreb, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
Courtney M. Robbins and Eugene Guarneri, for Defendants-Respondents.
SULLIVAN, J.P., TOM, MAZZARELLI, WALLACH, RUBIN, JJ.
The action was properly dismissed for lack of any evidence as to defendants' responsibility for the existence of the ice patch on which plaintiff allegedly slipped (see, Simmons v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 84 N.Y.2d 972). We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
