McLaughlin, Gouldborne Cohen, P.C., Bronx (Patsy D. Gouldborne of counsel), for appellants.

Before: Buckley, P.J., Tom, Andrias, Sullivan and Sweeny, JJ.


Plaintiffs failed to demonstrate the existence of a special relationship with any of the municipal defendants that would have given rise to a claim of negligence ( Cuffy v. City of New York, 69 NY2d 255, 260-261). We have considered plaintiffs' other arguments and find them without merit.
