Hamill v. Town of Southampton

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 3, 1999
261 A.D.2d 361 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

May 3, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Doyle, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

On May 25, 1995, the plaintiff David Lee Hamill, a seventh-grade student at Hampton Bays High School, was injured while running to intercept the football at a touch football game during lunch recess. The conduct of a teacher who was participating in the game did not expose the injured plaintiff to any unreasonable risks (cf., Pike v. Gouverneur Cent. School Dist., 249 A.D.2d 820) and did not violate any duty to supervise him (cf., Cody v. Massapequa Union Free School Dist. No. 23, 227 A.D.2d 368). Accordingly, the defendants were entitled to summary judgment.

Bracken, J. P., Thompson, Goldstein, McGinity and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
