Buckman Whitbeck v. Haseley Consultants

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
May 30, 1997
239 A.D.2d 900 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

May 30, 1997

Present — Green, J.P., Lawton, Doerr and Fallon, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment dismissing the counterclaim and affirmative defense. Plaintiff contends that defendants' assertion of negligence on the part of plaintiff is necessarily premised upon the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. We disagree. In opposition to the motion, defendants submitted affidavits containing specific allegations of negligent conduct on the part of plaintiff. Thus, although the parties are in agreement concerning the underlying facts, defendants raised a question of fact for jury determination ( see, Noody v. Facer, 105 A.D.2d 1112).

We have considered the remaining contentions raised on appeal and conclude that they are without merit. (Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Cayuga County, Corning, J. — Summary Judgment.)
