Rivera v. Hickey

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 7, 2001
283 A.D.2d 415 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Argued April 17, 2001.

May 7, 2001.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Adams, J.), dated April 18, 2000, which denied his motion, inter alia, for summary judgment on the issue of liability.

John Marshall, Plainview, N.Y., for appellant.

Gallagher, Walker, Bianco Plastaras, Mineola, N.Y. (Robert J. Walker and Lisa Ceraulo of counsel), for respondent Robert J. Hickey.

Ahmuty, Demers McManus, Albertson, N.Y. (Frederick B. Simpson and Brendan T. Fitzpatrick of counsel), for respondent America Honda Finance Corp.

Before: RITTER, J.P., S. MILLER, McGINITY and TOWNES, JJ.


ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs.

The Supreme Court properly denied that branch of the plaintiff's motion which was for summary judgment on the issue of liability, since he failed to make a prima facie showing of his entitlement to judgment as a matter of law. The plaintiff was allegedly injured while riding his bicycle when he was hit by a vehicle driven by the defendant Robert J. Hickey. The parties presented conflicting evidence as to the circumstances surrounding the accident, including whether the accident occurred before or after a yield sign (see, Mundo v. City of Yonkers, 249 A.D.2d 522; Trent v. Town of Riverhead, 247 A.D.2d 606).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
