304 A.D.2d 466 (N.Y. App. Div. 2003)

Opinion

919

April 24, 2003.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Paula Omansky, J.), entered on or about July 25, 2002, granting defendant University of Rochester's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Scott A. Brody, for plaintiff-appellant.

Thomas S. D'Antonio, for defendant-respondent.

Before: Buckley, P.J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Wallach, Friedman, JJ.


Although plaintiff alleges that but for defendant University's failure to secure its premises adequately he would not have been assaulted at the University's athletic facility during an intramural basketball game by a player on the opposing team, the record fails to disclose the existence of any triable issue as to whether inadequate premises security was a cause of plaintiff's harm. We are unable to discern any non-speculative evidentiary basis for plaintiff's assertion that his assailant was an intruder who gained admission to defendant's gymnasium by reason of lax security (see Sakhai v. 411 E. 57thSt. Corp., 272 A.D.2d 231, 233).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
