KUEHNER v. CITY OF YONKERS

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

It is well settled that a motion to dismiss for failure to establish a prima facie case should only be granted if there is no rational process by which a jury could find for the plaintiff and against the moving defendant upon the evidence presented (see, Gruntz v Deepdale Gen. Hosp., 163 A.D.2d 564; Blum v Fresh Grown Preserve Corp., 292 N.Y. 241, 245). Viewing the plaintiff's evidence as to negligence and proximate cause in a light most favorable to her (see, Wragge v Lizza Asphalt Constr. Co., 17 N.Y.2d 313), we find that there was insufficient evidence adduced from which a reasonable person might conclude that the respondents were negligent and that their negligence proximately caused the decedent's death. Eiber, J.P., O'Brien, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
