275 A.D.2d 770 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

Argued May 2, 2000

September 25, 2000.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Barone, J.), entered June 4, 1999, which granted the defendants' respective motions for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

James J. Killerlane (David Samel, New York, N.Y., of counsel), for appellant.

Hodgson, Russ, Andrews, Woods Goodyear, LLP, New York, N Y (Mirna E. Martinez and Jill A. Yonkers of counsel), for respondent 984 Associates.

L.A. Beesecker, Tarrytown, N.Y., for respondent Anvil Contracting Co.

Before: LAWRENCE J. BRACKEN, J.P., DAVID S. RITTER, MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

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

The defendant 984 Associates, the owner of the property where the plaintiff slipped and fell, established a prima facie case of its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law. Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, she failed to raise a triable issue of fact that the defendant 984 Associates had constructive notice of the alleged defective condition which caused her to fall (see, Simmons v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 84 N.Y.2d 972; Baum v. Knoll Farm, 259 A.D.2d 456).

The defendant Anvil Contracting Co., the snow removal contractor, was also entitled to judgment as a matter of law, as it owed no duty to the plaintiff (see, Pavlovich v. Wade Assocs., ___ A.D.2d ___ [2d Dept., July 3, 2000]).
