SHARON GENTLES, APPELLANT, v. NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY, RESPONDENT.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in granting the defendant leave to move for summary judgment, although its motion was made more than 120 days after the plaintiff filed a note of issue (see, Quinlan v. Kaufman, 258 A.D.2d 453; Anzalone v. Varis, 254 A.D.2d 381 Eason v. Herber Middle School, 250 A.D.2d 807).

The plaintiff fell on an exposed staircase that was wet from rain. In opposition to the defendant's prima facie showing of entitlement to summary judgment, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the wet stairs constituted a dangerous condition (see, King v. New York City Tr. Auth., 266 A.D.2d 354; Patrick v. Cho's Fruit Vegetables, 248 A.D.2d 692; Wessels v. Service Mdse., 187 A.D.2d 837; Marks v. Andros Broadway, 38 A.D.2d 926, affd 32 N.Y.2d 727). Furthermore, the plaintiff failed to submit proof in admissible form to support her contention that the staircase was designed or constructed improperly (see, Rosario v. New York City Tr. Auth., 215 A.D.2d 364; Hagan v. General Motors Corp., 194 A.D.2d 766, 768; Abrahamsen v. Brockway Glass Co., 156 A.D.2d 615, 617).
