MEMORANDUM. On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals ( 22 NYCRR 500.11 ), order affirmed, with costs. In this context, defendants MDC Concourse Center, LLC; McGuire Development Company, LLC; Maguire Management Company, LLC; and R.D. Trucking & Transportation, Inc. established prima facie their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by "submitting uncontroverted evidence that a storm was ongoing at the time of [plaintiff]'s fall" ( Sherman v New York State Thruway Auth., 27 N.Y.3d 1019, 1021, 32 N.Y.S.3d 568, 52 N.E.3d 231 [2016] ). In opposition, plaintiff failed to raise a triable question of fact.
Chief Judge DiFiore and Judges Rivera, Stein, Fahey, Garcia, Wilson and Feinman concur.
