Mason v. City of New York

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Manuel J. Mendez, J.), entered September 9, 2013, which denied defendant/third-party defendant-appellant Enviro & Demo Masters, Inc.’s (Enviro) motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims and cross claims asserted against it, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Enviro’s motion for summary judgment is premature, given that the issues raised require further discovery, which has not yet been completed (see Ross v Curtis-Palmer Hydro-Elec. Co., 81 NY2d 494, 506 [1993]; Blech v West Park Presbyt. Church, 97 AD3d 443, 443 [1st Dept 2012]). In any event, the submissions raise triable issues of fact, precluding summary judgment.
