Order reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, motion granted, and action dismissed.
In response to the defendant's documentary evidence which indicated that the decedent's fall and ensuing injuries were not the product of the defendant's negligence, the plaintiffs had the responsibility to lay bare proof and show validity to their claim by evidentiary proof in admissible form (see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557; Mildner v. Wagner, 89 A.D.2d 638; DeBoer v. Lloyd's Shopping Center, 115 A.D.2d 633). Since the plaintiffs failed to meet this responsibility, the defendant's motion should have been granted. Mangano, J.P., Thompson, Brown and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
