In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Slobod, J.), dated May 17, 2002, which granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Conway Kirby, LLP, Niskayuna, N.Y. (Andrew W. Kirby of counsel), for appellant.
Eisenberg, Kirsch Conaty, Liberty, N.Y. (Charles R. Olsen, Jr., of counsel), for respondent.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, HOWARD MILLER, SANDRA L. TOWNES, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, the defendant property owner's duty of care did not require him to shovel or otherwise remedy the snow and ice condition in a grassy area adjacent to the driveway where the plaintiff slipped and fell (see Rosenbloom v. City of New York, 254 A.D.2d 474; Garcia v. New York City Hous. Auth., 234 A.D.2d 102; Palmer v. Prescott, 208 A.D.2d 1065; Bacon v. Mussaw, 167 A.D.2d 741).
RITTER, J.P., FRIEDMANN, H. MILLER and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
