PAEZ v. SHAH

Ordered that the order entered June 26, 2009, is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

Having initially failed to consider the plaintiffs opposition to the motion papers submitted by the defendant Surendra Shah (hereinafter the defendant), the Supreme Court granted reargument. Upon reargument, the Supreme Court properly adhered to its determination granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against him.

The defendant met his burden of establishing his prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by showing that he was neither an owner of, nor general contractor at, the subject premises, which was undergoing renovation, and at which the plaintiff was injured ( see Labor Law § 241; Linkowski v City of New York, 33 AD3d 971; Ryba v Almeida, 27 AD3d 718). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to submit evidence in admissible form sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact ( see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320).

The plaintiffs remaining contentions are without merit.
