Rosenberg v. Mazzone
Opinion of the Court
—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Doyle J.), entered March 13, 1997, which granted the separate motions of the defendants Lewis A. Mazzone and KD.’s Auto Body, Inc., for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs.
The plaintiff Herbert M. Rosenberg was injured when he was struck by an automobile driven by the defendant Gilbert Dewynter and owned by the defendant Lewis A. Mazzone. Mazzone submitted sufficient proof on his motion for summary judgment to establish that his vehicle was being driven without his permission or consent at the time the injured plaintiff was struck (see, Leonard v Elite Investigations, 221 AD2d 322; Guerra v Kings Plaza Leasing Corp., 172 AD2d 583; see also,
In addition, since the record is devoid of any evidence indicating that Dewynter was employed by K.D.’s Auto Body, Inc. (hereinafter K.D.’s), we find that the contentions raised by the plaintiffs in opposition to KD.’s motion for summary judgment are bare, conclusory allegations which are insufficient to defeat its motion (see, Moxon v Barbour, 106 AD2d 558).
The plaintiffs’ remaining contentions are not properly before this Court as they are based on facts which are dehors the record and have been raised for the first time on appeal (see, Matter of Allstate Ins. Co. v Bieder, 212 AD2d 693; Martin v Manhattan & Bronx Surface Tr. Operating Auth., 198 AD2d 160). Rosenblatt, J. P., Copertino, Goldstein and Luciano, JJ., concur.
