In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for negligence, the defendant third-party plaintiff Kleet Lumber Company, Inc., appeals, as limited by its brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Adams, J.).
ORDERED that the appeals by the defendants Shakertown Corp. and Summit Management Co. are dismissed, for failure to perfect the same in accordance with the rules of this court ( see, 22 NYCRR 670.8 [c], [e]); and it is further,
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from by Kleet Lumber Company, Inc., with one bill of costs payable by the appellant Kleet Lumber Company, Inc.
The respondent Girard Custom Coaters made out a prima facie case that it was entitled to summary judgment dismissing the cross claims insofar as asserted against it. Similarly, the respondent Gaspar Lapiana made out a prima facie case that he was entitled to summary judgment dismissing the third-party complaint insofar as asserted against him. Since the proof of the appellant Kleet Lumber Company, Inc., was insufficient to show the existence of a triable issue of fact, the Supreme Court properly granted summary judgment ( see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557).
