Walton v. Wegman's Food Markets

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

191 A.D.2d 1040 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

March 12, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Willis, J.

Present — Denman, P.J., Green, Balio, Fallon and Boehm, JJ.


Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs, motion granted and complaint dismissed. Memorandum: Supreme Court should have granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Defendant satisfied its initial burden of establishing that it lacked actual or constructive notice of the accumulation of water on the floor of its store. Plaintiffs failed to submit material in evidentiary form sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact concerning actual or constructive notice, and summary dismissal was warranted (see, Anderson v. Klein's Foods, 139 A.D.2d 904, affd 73 N.Y.2d 835; Eddy v. Tops Friendly Mkts., 91 A.D.2d 1203, affd 59 N.Y.2d 692).
