LILLIAN CINCOTTA, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT, v. CITY OF NEW YORK, ET AL., DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS, ET AL., BRUZZESE SONS CONSTRUCTION CORP., ET AL., APPELLANTS, ET AL., DEFENDANT.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.

The appellants failed to satisfy their initial burden of making a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, by eliminating any triable issues of fact from the case (see Winegrad v. New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 N.Y.2d 851). Since the appellants' motion was based solely on claimed deficiencies in the plaintiff's proof, it was properly denied, without regard to the sufficiency of the opposing papers (see Carrington v. Commissioner of Westchester County Correctional Facility, 278 A.D.2d 352; Sterling v. Town of Hempstead, 260 A.D.2d 628).

FEUERSTEIN, J.P., KRAUSMAN, SCHMIDT and COZIER, JJ., concur.
