GARAFOLA v. CITY OF NEW YORK

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Feb 23, 1998

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court correctly granted the defendants motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff assumed the risks inherent in playing on the football field where he allegedly sustained his injuries, including those risks associated with the construction of the field and any open and obvious conditions on it ( see, Maddox v. City of New York, 66 N.Y.2d 270, 277; Walner v. City of New York, 243 A.D.2d 629; Reynolds v. Jefferson Val. Racquet Club, 238 A.D.2d 493; Touti v. City of New York, 233 A.D.2d 496; McKey v. City of New York, 234 A.D.2d 114; Russini v. Incorporated Vil. of Mineola, 184 A.D.2d 561).

Rosenblatt, J. P., Sullivan, Joy, Altman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
