Opinion
September 15, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Doyle, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
We reject the plaintiff's contention that defendant, Alan R. Daab, Jr., the operator of the vehicle in which the adult plaintiff was a front-seat passenger, had a duty to ensure that she was restrained by a safety belt before operating the vehicle ( see, Stewart v. Taylor, 193 A.D.2d 1078).
Copertino, J.P., Pizzuto, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
