Opinion
April 1, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Ingrassia, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiffs made a prima facie showing that the defendants violated Labor Law § 240 (1), and that such violation was a contributing cause of the injured plaintiff's injuries ( see, Zimmer v. Chemung County Performing Arts, 65 N.Y.2d 513). In opposition to the motion, the defendants only submitted an affirmation of counsel which alleged in a conclusory fashion that issues of fact existed as to how the accident occurred and whether the defendants' violation was a proximate cause of the injuries. This is insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact ( see, Figueroa v. Manhattanville Coll., 193 A.D.2d 778; Walsh v Baker, 172 A.D.2d 1038). Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Friedmann, Florio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
