DECISION & ORDER In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Loren Baily–Schiffman, J.), dated April 19, 2018. The order granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
On December 6, 2010, the plaintiff allegedly slipped and fell as she was boarding the defendant's vehicle in Brooklyn. The plaintiff subsequently commenced this personal injury action against the defendant. The Supreme Court granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, and the plaintiff appeals.
In light of the allegations contained in the plaintiff's complaint and bill of particulars, the evidence submitted by the defendant in support of its motion for summary judgment was sufficient to establish, prima facie, that it maintained the vehicle at issue in a reasonably safe condition (see Batista v. MTA Bus Co., 129 A.D.3d 1003, 1003–1004, 13 N.Y.S.3d 144 ; Kelley–Taft v. County of Westchester, 119 A.D.3d 842, 843, 989 N.Y.S.2d 366 ; Kasper v. Metropolitan Transp. Auth. Long Is. Bus, 90 A.D.3d 998, 999, 935 N.Y.S.2d 645 ). In opposition to the defendant's motion, the plaintiff failed to submit evidence sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact.
Accordingly, we agree with the Supreme Court's determination to grant the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
RIVERA, J.P., ROMAN, MILLER and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur.
