DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that workers' compensation was the plaintiff's exclusive remedy (see, Workers' Compensation Law § 29). The plaintiff, who was injured during the course of his employment, cannot maintain an action to recover damages for personal injuries against the owners of the premises where the accident occurred since the owners are also officers of the corporation that employed him (see, Heritage v. Van Patten, 59 N.Y.2d 1017; Lovario v. Vuotto, 266 A.D.2d 191; Stephan v. Stein, 226 A.D.2d 364).
