MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
In an action to recover damages under General Obligations Law § 11-101 the defendants appeal from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Lama, J.), dated February 10, 1988, which denied their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint for failure to state a cause of action, and (2) so much of an order of the same court, dated May 31, 1988, as upon reargument, adhered to the original determination.
ORDERED that the appeal from the order dated February 10, 1988, is dismissed as that order was superseded by the order dated May 31, 1988, made upon reargument; and it is further,

The plaintiff instituted the instant action pursuant to General Obligations Law § 11-101(1) (the Dram Shop Act) seeking to recover damages arising from the death of her 17-year-old son who was killed while he was driving in an intoxicated state. The plaintiff alleges that the decedent purchased beer from the defendants and drank the beer sometime before the accident. In her complaint, the plaintiff seeks to recover damages, inter alia, for the loss of her son's financial support and funeral expenses. Following joinder of issue and certain pretrial discovery, the defendants moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

On the issue of the plaintiff's entitlement to recover for her son's loss of support, we conclude that her papers submitted in opposition to the appellants' motion for summary judgment are sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact. The plaintiff's deposition testimony indicates that the decedent had contributed $50 a week to the plaintiff for approximately a year and a half prior to his death and that she...
