In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Jackson, J.), dated June 28, 2004, which granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Borrell Riso, LLP, Staten Island, N.Y. (Christopher Robles of counsel), for appellant.
Brody, Benard Branch, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Christopher B. Kinzel and Tanya M. Branch of counsel), for respondents.
Before: Florio, J.P., Crane, Mastro and Rivera, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. In support of their motion, the defendants presented evidence establishing, prima facie, that the metal plate on which the plaintiff slipped during a sleet storm was not inherently dangerous and was readily observable by the use of one's senses ( see Cupo v. Karfunkel, 1 AD3d 48, 52; Gibbons v. Lido Point Lookout Fire Dist., 293 AD2d 646, 647; Gibbons v. Lido Point Lookout Fire Dist., 293 AD2d 647, 648; Plessias v. Scalia Home for Funerals, 271 AD2d 423). In response to the defendants' demonstration of entitlement, prima facie, to judgment as a matter of law, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact.
