Memorandum: Plaintiff commenced this action seeking damages for injuries sustained by her daughter when she was bitten by a dog owned by defendant Terry A. Weese. The incident occurred while plaintiffs daughter was inside the residence of Weese, which she leased from defendant David Colonna. The complaint, as amplified by the bill of particulars, alleges that defendants are liable for common-law negligence and for violations of Agriculture and Markets Law § 119 and the local leash law. We conclude that Supreme Court erred in denying the motion of Colonna for summary judgment dismissing the complaint against him. It is well established that, in an action for damages resulting from a dog bite, a plaintiff may recover only on a theory of strict liability and not for common-law negligence ( see Petrone v Fernandez, 12 NY3d 546, 550; Bard v Jahnke, 6 NY3d 592, 599; Collier v Zambito, 1 NY3d 444, 446-448). Further, a "defendant's violation of [Agriculture and Markets Law § 119 and] the local leash law is `irrelevant because such a violation is only some evidence of negligence, and negligence is no longer a basis for imposing liability'" for injuries sustained as the result of a dog bite ( Petrone, 12 NY3d at 550). We therefore reverse the order, grant the motion and dismiss the complaint against Colonna. Also, pursuant to CPLR 3212 (b), we search the record and grant summary judgment in favor of Weese dismissing the complaint against her, despite her failure to seek that relief.
