Turturro v. Squatrito

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 17, 2008
52 A.D.3d 693 (N.Y. App. Div. 2008)

Opinion

No. 2007-03675.

June 17, 2008.

In an action to recover damages for trespass, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Pitts, J.), entered March 7, 2007, which, upon an order of the same court dated January 5, 2007, granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, is in favor of the defendants and against her, dismissing the complaint.

Schwartz Ponterio, PLLC, New York, N.Y. (John Ponterio of counsel), for appellant.

John P. Humphreys, Melville, N.Y. (Scott W. Driver of counsel), for respondents.

Before: Rivera, J.P., Ritter, Miller and Dillon, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The defendants demonstrated that they did not willfully commit the alleged trespass ( see Ivancic v Olmstead, 66 NY2d 349, 352, cert denied 476 US 1117; Kulpa v Stewart's Ice Cream, 144 AD2d 205, 207). This showing was sufficient to establish their prima facie entitlement to summary judgment ( see Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact.
