RICHMOND HILL SAVINGS BANK, Respondent, v. SISTERS OF THE ORDER OF ST. DOMINIC et al., Defendants and Third-Party Plaintiffs-Appellants, et al., Third-Party Defendant.

Ordered that the appeal from the interlocutory judgment is dismissed, as that interlocutory judgment was superseded by the order made upon reargument; and it is further,

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, and it is further,

Ordered that the plaintiff is awarded one bill of costs.

Contrary to the defendants' contentions, the record reveals that the plaintiff established its prima facie entitlement to summary judgment as a matter of law (see, Winegrad v. New York Univ. Med. Center, 64 N.Y.2d 851, 852; Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557). It is undisputed that the defendant Brown was the operator of an automobile which left the roadway, mounted the sidewalk and crashed into the front entrance of the plaintiff Richmond Hill Savings Bank. The defendants' opposition to the motion, consisting solely of the affidavit of an attorney lacking personal knowledge of events surrounding the accident, is insufficient to raise an issue of fact (see, e.g., Roche v Hearst Corp., 53 N.Y.2d 767; Grieshaber v. City of New Rochelle, 113 A.D.2d 821). Brown, J.P., Rubin, Kooper and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
