Opinion
February 14, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Beisner, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
To successfully defeat a motion for summary judgment, the opposing party must show through evidentiary proof that a question of fact is present requiring denial of the motion (see, CPLR 3212 [b]; Bytner v Capital Newspaper, 112 A.D.2d 666, 668). The plaintiff offered an affidavit by an expert in opposition which contained only generalized, conclusory and speculative assertions insufficient to comply with this requirement. Thompson, J.P., Rubin, Spatt and Balletta, JJ., concur.
