Ordered that the order is modified, on the law, by deleting the provision thereof which denied the cross motion by the defendant Bethpage Plaza Associates for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and substituting therefor a provision granting the cross motion, the complaint is dismissed insofar as it is asserted against it, and the action against the remaining defendant is severed; as so modified, the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs to the appellant payable by the defendant-respondent.
This appeal concerns an alleged "slip and fall" on a soda can outside a supermarket. In order to state a prima facie case of negligence on such a cause of action, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant created the condition which caused the injury or that it had actual or constructive notice of the condition (see, Gordon v. American Museum of Natural History, 67 N.Y.2d 836; Kane v. Human Servs. Ctr., 186 A.D.2d 539). Here, even viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the plaintiff, such a demonstration was not made (see, Weisenthal v. Pickman, 153 A.D.2d 849).
In light of our determination, we need not reach the appellant's remaining contention. Thompson, J.P., Balletta, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
