Opinion of the Court
—In proceedings to settle the final accounts of the respondent Fleet Trust Company as trustee of the lifetime trusts of Ruth Jakobson and Irving D. Jakobson, and as the executor of the estate of Ruth Jakobson, the object-ant, Peder D. Jakobson, appeals from an order of the Surrogate’s Court, Nassau County (Radigan, S.), entered June 26,
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs payable by the respondent Fleet Trust Company, and the motion is denied.
To obtain summary judgment, the movant must make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by tendering sufficient evidence to demonstrate the absence of any material issue of fact (see, Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324). The evidence presented by Fleet Trust Company did not demonstrate the absence of a material issue of fact as to whether it mismanaged the trust accounts. Therefore, it was not entitled to partial summary judgment. Rosenblatt, J. P., Copertino, Sullivan and Altman, JJ., concur.
