AMADIO v. PATHMARK STORES, INC

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiffs failure to establish the cause of the injured plaintiff's fall is fatal to their case ( Skay v. Public Lib., 238 A.D.2d 397; Leary v. North Shore Univ. Hosp., 218 A.D.2d 686, 687; Vinicio v. Marriott Corp., 217 A.D.2d 656; Garvin v. Rosenberg, 204 A.D.2d 388; Earle v. Channel Home Ctr., 158 A.D.2d 507). Moreover, the plaintiffs failed to establish that the defendants alleged violation of the New York State Executive Code was a proximate cause of the injured plaintiff's accident ( see, Gleason v. Reynolds Leasing Corp., 227 A.D.2d 375; Lectora v. Gundrum, 225 A.D.2d 738; Poggiali v. Town of Babylon, 219 A.D.2d 626; ). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
