Cauthers v. Brite Ideas, LLC
Decision Date | 26 June 2007 |
Docket Number | 2006-08848. |
Citation | 41 A.D.3d 755,2007 NY Slip Op 05672,837 N.Y.S.2d 594 |
Parties | BRIAN CAUTHERS et al., Respondents, v. BRITE IDEAS, LLC, Appellant, et al., Defendant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
"[T]he proponent of a summary judgment motion must make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, tendering sufficient evidence to demonstrate the absence of any material issues of fact" (Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324 [1986]). Failure to make such a prima facie showing requires a denial of the motion, regardless of the sufficiency of the opposing papers (see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853 [1985]). The Supreme Court properly found that the appellant's proof, consisting solely of an attorney's affidavit, was insufficient to meet its initial burden (see Jeune v O.T. Trans Mix Corp., 29 AD3d 635, 636 [2006]; Stahl v Stralberg, 287 AD2d 613, 614 [2001]).
