In this action to recover for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff when he was struck by a vehicle in the driveway of defendants-respondents' hotel, the court properly granted the hotel defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and cross claims as against them since they made a sufficient prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment in their favor and plaintiffs, in response, failed to raise a triable issue of fact (see, Zucherman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557). The complaint must be dismissed because the hotel had no legal duty to control the operation of the third-party automobile which struck plaintiff when the operator of the offending vehicle backed-up in disregard of the plainly established one-way traffic flow in the hotel driveway (see, Pulka v. Edelman, 40 N.Y.2d 781).
We have considered appellants' remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
