Opinion
July 8, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Newmark, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs payable to the plaintiff-respondent.
The Supreme Court properly denied the defendant's motion for summary judgment as the defendant failed to make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law ( see, Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320, 324; Carcione v. County of Suffolk, 225 A.D.2d 575). O'Brien, J.P., Goldstein, Florio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
