Quinn v. Nigro Bros., Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 5, 1995
216 A.D.2d 281 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 5, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Meehan, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The plaintiff Deborah Quinn sustained severe injuries in an automobile accident on the Tappan Zee Bridge at a time when the bridge was subject to lane closures necessitated by construction work on the New York State Thruway. In moving for summary judgment, the respondents established that the New York State Thruway Authority provided them with a lane closure plan and determined how it was to be implemented on the bridge. The plaintiffs' evidence to the contrary was speculative, conclusory, and incompetent, and was therefore insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact (see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, 562). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the respondents' respective motion and cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as it is asserted against them (see, Loconti v. Creede, 169 A.D.2d 900; Pioli v Town of Kirkwood, 117 A.D.2d 954). Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, O'Brien and Thompson, JJ., concur.
