June 24, 2003.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Martin Schoenfeld, J.), entered April 10, 2002, which granted defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Brian J. Isaac, for plaintiffs-appellants.
Steven B. Prystowsky, for defendants-respondents.
Before: Buckley, P.J., Tom, Sullivan, Marlow, JJ.
Decedent tenant was murdered during business hours on the 19th floor of defendants' commercial building. Although plaintiffs seek to hold defendants accountable for this tragic occurrence on a lax premises security theory, there were no witnesses to the crime and there is no evidence as to the identity of decedent's assailant and, accordingly, no evidence that any failure by defendants to provide adequate premises security was causally related to decedent's demise.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
