JOSEPH VECCIA, ET AL., respondents, v. CLEARMEADOW PISTOL CLUB, LTD., appellants.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the motions are granted, and the complaint is dismissed in its entirety.

In opposition to the appellants' prima facie showing of their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact that the injuries sustained by the plaintiff Joseph Veccia were caused by a structural defect in the stair on which he may have slipped (see Speirs v. Dick's Clothing and Sporting Goods, 268 A.D.2d 581). The affidavit of the plaintiffs' expert did not sufficiently identify any specific industry standard upon which he relied in regard to the stairs, nor did he supply any specific statutory or building code violations (see Cicero v. Selden Assocs., 295 A.D.2d 391, 392; Speirs v. Dick's Clothing and Sporting Goods, supra). Thus, the expert's affidavit was insufficient to defeat the appellants' respective motions for summary judgment (see Romano v. Stanley, 90 N.Y.2d 444; Murphy v. Conner, 84 N.Y.2d 969).

S. MILLER, J.P., KRAUSMAN, LUCIANO and COZIER, JJ., concur.
