Appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Joseph R. Glownia, J.), entered May 12, 2020. The order granted the motion of plaintiff for partial summary judgment on the issue of liability under Labor Law § 240 (1) and denied the cross motion of defendants-appellants for summary judgment dismissing the complaint against defendant S.A.B. Specialties, LLC.
It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal by third-party defendant is dismissed and the order is affirmed without costs.
Same memorandum as in Beltran v Waterfront Hous. Dev. Fund Corp. ([appeal No. 1] - A.D.3d - [Jan. 28, 2022] [4th Dept 2022]).
All concur except Troutman, J., who is not participating.
