OPINION OF THE COURT
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.
Plaintiff, an undergraduate student, was shot without provocation by a nonstudent while standing outside a fraternity house located in a residential area of defendant's campus known as the "fraternity quad." Plaintiff alleged that inadequate security and lighting were a proximate cause of his injuries. Supreme Court denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, and by a divided Court the Appellate Division reversed and granted defendant summary judgment.
In opposition to defendant's prima facie showing of entitlement to summary judgment, plaintiff presented no evidence other than "[m]ere conclusions, expressions of hope or unsubstantiated allegations" that the alleged insufficient security and lighting in the fraternity quad were a proximate cause of the shooting ( Rodriguez v. New York City Hous. Auth., 87 NY2d 887, 888 [internal quotation marks and citations omitted]), or that the criminal attack was foreseeable or preventable in the normal course of events ( see Maheshwari v. City of New York, 2 NY3d 288, 294-295 [decided today]). Accordingly, the Appellate Division properly granted defendant summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals ( 22 NYCRR 500.4), order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
