Murphy v. Chaos
| Decision Date | 16 February 2006 |
| Docket Number | 7862. |
| Citation | 2006 NY Slip Op 01223,26 A.D.3d 231,810 N.Y.S.2d 39 |
| Parties | JOSEPH MURPHY, Appellant, v. CHAOS et al., Respondents, et al., Defendants. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
No triable factual issue is raised as to whether defendant Kallimini was intoxicated or impaired at the time of his altercation with plaintiff, much less as to whether defendant nightclub Chaos furnished Kallimini with alcohol or caused him to become intoxicated prior to the altercation. Accordingly, summary judgment was properly granted dismissing plaintiff's claims against Chaos under General Obligations Law §§ 11-100 and 11-101 (see Sherman v. Robinson, 80 NY2d 483, 487-488 [1992]). Nor was Chaos under a duty to protect plaintiff during the sudden, brief assault, which took place on the public sidewalk some 15 feet from the club entrance as patrons left the club at the end of the night, particularly since there is no evidence that anything transpired inside the club which might have put the club on notice that there was a risk of such an altercation (see Del Bourgo v. 138 Sidelines Corp., 208 AD2d 795, 796 [1994], lv dismissed 85 NY2d 924 [1995]).
