MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

In a negligence action to recover for personal injuries sustained as a result of defendant's car striking the rear of plaintiffs' car when it stopped for a red traffic light, defendant appeals from an order granting plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment.

Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion denied.

In our opinion, issues of fact are presented which should be resolved by a trial.
