PRESTON HIBBERT, Respondent, v. VICTOR AVWONTOM et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.

The defendants made a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law demonstrating that the instant litigation is barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel based on a previous arbitration award which was adverse to the plaintiff ( see Clemens v Apple, 65 NY2d 746, 748-749; Ryan v New York Tel. Co., 62 NY2d 494, 500, 500-501; Goepel v City of New York, 23 AD3d 344, 346; Carter v Gospel Temple Church of God in Christ, 19 AD3d 353, 354-355). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact ( see Martin v Geico Direct Ins., 31 AD3d 505, 506). Accordingly, the Supreme Court should have granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

The plaintiff's remaining contention is without merit ( see Matter of New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co. v Reinhardt, 27 AD3d 751, 753; Hilowitz v Hilowitz, 85 AD2d 621).
