MICHAEL GIANCHETTA et al., Respondents, v. E.B. MARINE, INC., Appellant.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed;

The defendant established prima facie that it did not create the allegedly dangerous condition which may have caused the injured plaintiff to fall and that it did not have actual or constructive notice of that condition. The plaintiffs' contention that the defendant created the alleged dangerous condition was based on mere speculation ( see, Gonzalez v. Pathmark Stores, 251 A.D.2d 627). Moreover, the injured plaintiff merely speculated as to what caused him to fall. Therefore, the plaintiffs failed to show the existence of an issue of fact as to proximate cause and/or actual or constructive notice ( see, Burgos v. Aqueduct Realty Corp., 92 N.Y. 544; Bernstein v. City of New York, 69 N.Y.2d 1020, 1021).

Bracken, J. P., Thompson, Goldstein and McGinity, JJ., concur.
