TIMOTEO DELGADO et al., Respondents, v. NADEEM A. BUTT et al., Appellants, and CONSTANTINO BALBUENA FLORES et al., Respondents.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs.

A party moving for summary judgment has the burden of establishing his or her entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by coming forward with evidentiary proof, in admissible form, demonstrating the absence of any disputed material issue of fact ( see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324; Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557, 562). Failure to make such a showing requires denial of the motion, regardless of the sufficiency of the opposing papers ( see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853). In this case, which arises out of an automobile accident, the deposition testimony of the two drivers involved in the accident, which was submitted by the appellants in support of their motion for summary judgment, reveals numerous questions of fact as to the happening of the accident. Accordingly, the appellants failed to make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, and thus, the Supreme Court properly denied their motion for summary judgment ( see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d at 853).
