Opinion

Submitted January 5, 2000

February 10, 2000

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant Active Seniors of Manhasset appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Rappaport, J.), dated March 23, 1999, as granted that branch of the motion of the defendant Manhasset Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends which was for summary judgment dismissing the cross claims asserted against it.

Ahmuty, Demers McManus, Albertson, N.Y. (Brendan T. Fitzpatrick and Frederick B. Simpson of counsel), for appellant.

Shayne, Dachs, Stanisci, Corker Sauer, Mineola, N.Y. (Jonathan A. Dachs of counsel), for respondent.

GUY JAMES MANGANO, P.J., FRED T. SANTUCCI, GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, ANITA R. FLORIO.


DECISION ORDER


ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

Contrary to the appellant's contention, it failed to present evidence sufficient to raise a question of fact as to whether the respondent either created the puddle of water in which the plaintiff slipped, or had actual or constructive notice of its existence (see, Gordon v. American Museum of Natural History, 67 N.Y.2d 836 ; Blaszczyk v. Riccio, 266 A.D.2d 491 [2d Dept., Nov. 29, 1999]; Freeman v. Cobos, 240 A.D.2d 698 ). The Supreme Court therefore properly dismissed the cross claims asserted against the respondent.
