TAYLOR v. NEW YORK CITY TR. AUTH

ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.

The plaintiff allegedly slipped and fell on ice on the exterior stairway of an elevated subway station. The defendant established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, thereby shifting the burden to the plaintiff to submit admissible evidence establishing a triable issue of fact ( see Winegrad v. New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 N.Y.2d 851; Murphy v. 136 N. Blvd. Assoc., 304 A.D.2d 540; Voss v. DC Parking, 299 A.D.2d 346). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the defendant created, or had notice of, the alleged condition ( see Gordon v. Talleyrand Crescent Dev. Corp., 304 A.D.2d 711; Pala v. D. Braf, Ltd., 284 A.D.2d 382; Davis v. City of New York, 255 A.D.2d 356). Accordingly, the Supreme Court should have granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
