Domenique SEVERO, respondent,

v.ICE MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC, appellant.

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.

Nov. 30, 2010.

Havkins Rosenfeld Ritzert & Varriale, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Jarett L. Warner of counsel), for appellant.

Edward C. Bruno, Pine Bush, N.Y., for respondent.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Slobod, J.), dated July 14, 2009, which denied its motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendant met its burden of establishing its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law ( see Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320, 324, 508 N.Y.S.2d 923, 501 N.E.2d 572; Winegrad v. New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 N.Y.2d 851, 853, 487 N.Y.S.2d 316, 476 N.E.2d 642). However, in opposition, the plaintiff raised triable issues of fact. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

RIVERA, J.P., DICKERSON, LOTT and ROMAN, JJ., concur.
