Guarino v. Mohawk Containers Co., Inc.

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
May 11, 1983
59 N.Y.2d 753 (N.Y. 1983)

Opinion

Decided May 11, 1983

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department, JOHN R. TENNEY, J.

Albert A. Alteri for appellant.

Donald P. Colella for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

Plaintiff has failed to set forth any facts or circumstances from which it could be found that his use of defendant's product was foreseeable, and accordingly summary judgment was properly granted. Inasmuch as plaintiff had deposed one of defendant's officers and in the 17 months available had not indicated a desire for further disclosure, that he now asserts that he had not completed discovery does not interdict the grant of summary judgment ( Chemical Bank v PIC Motors Corp., 58 N.Y.2d 1023).

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur; Judge SIMONS taking no part.

On review of submissions pursuant to rule 500.2 (b) of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.2 [g]), order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
