Balmir v. Pollins

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 1, 1987
131 A.D.2d 410 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

June 1, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kutner, J.).


Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with one bill of costs payable to the appellants appearing separately and filing separate briefs, the motions for summary judgment are granted and the complaint and all cross claims are dismissed insofar as they are asserted against the appellants.

In opposing the subject applications for summary judgment, the plaintiff failed to dispute any facts or impeach the information provided by the movants in support of their denials that they had control over the site of the accident. Moreover, the plaintiff has failed to indicate that any reasonable attempts were made to discover facts giving rise to triable issues (Di Miceli v Olcott, 119 A.D.2d 539; Kenworthy v Town of Oyster Bay, 116 A.D.2d 628). Furthermore, information pertaining to the identity of the party responsible for the maintenance of the subject location would be a matter of public record (see, Mounier v Caristo Constr. Co., 106 A.D.2d 434). Absent evidence that any of the moving defendants assumed a duty to provide traffic assistance at the intersection where the accident occurred or that they otherwise voluntarily assumed any duty towards the plaintiff (see, Cuddy v Murdock, 84 A.D.2d 744), the motions for summary judgment should have been granted. Thompson, J.P., Weinstein, Lawrence and Harwood, JJ., concur.
