Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment. The defendant, in its submissions, demonstrated its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law ( see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557). In opposition, the plaintiffs failed to identify the substance which allegedly caused the plaintiff Mildred Guzman to fall ( see, Silver v. Brodsky, 112 A.D.2d 213). Moreover, the fact that a floor is slippery by reason of its smoothness or polish, in the absence of a negligent application of wax or polish, does not give rise to an inference of negligence ( see, Pizzi v. Bradlee's Div., 172 A.D.2d 504), and the plaintiffs "failed to present any evidence demonstrating that the defendant was negligent in its application of wax" ( Calabrese v. B.P.O. Elks Lodge #744, 215 A.D.2d 345, 346).
The plaintiffs' remaining argument is without merit ( see, Kalra v. New York Life Ins. Co., 244 A.D.2d 389).
