69 A.D.3d 708 (N.Y. App. Div. 2010)

Opinion

No. 2008-08476.

January 12, 2010.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries etc. the plaintiff's appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Davis, J.), entered July 30, 2008, as, upon reargument, adhered to so much of its original determination, in an order dated April 25, 2008, as granted that branch of the motion of the defendants Shan Associates of Syosset, LLC, and Rosemary Glover which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them.

Peter D. DiBona, P.C., Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellants.

Tromello, McDonnell Kehoe, Melville, N.Y. (A.G. Chancellor III of counsel), for respondents.

Before: Prudenti, P.J., Angiolillo, Lott and Sgroi, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, and upon reargument, so much of the order dated April 25, 2008, as granted that branch of the motion of the defendants Shan Associates of Syosset, LLC, and Rosemary Glover which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them is vacated, and that branch of the motion is denied.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff's ( see Wilson v Rojas, 63 AD3d 1048), the defendants Shan Associates of Syosset, LLC (hereinafter Shan), and Rosemary Glover failed to demonstrate a prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on the issue of whether or not they had constructive or actual notice of the alleged slippery condition ( see Taylor v Rochdale Vil. Inc., 60 AD3d 930). Additionally, there are issues of fact as to whether the lighting in the parking lot where the accident occurred was inadequate and, if so, whether it was a proximate cause of the accident ( see Gestetner v Teitelbaum, 52 AD3d 778). Thus, upon reargument, the motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against Shan and Glover should have been denied by the Supreme Court.
