Quito v. City of New York

The defendants’ failure to make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law required the denial of their motion for summary judgment, regardless of the sufficiency of the opposing papers (see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853 [1985]). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Rivera, J.E, Eng, Belen and Austin, JJ., concur.
