Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York

878 N.Y.S.2d 908

ALICIA HAASE, Appellant, v BISHOP JONATHAN G. SHERMAN EPISCOPAL NURSING HOME, Also Known as BISHOP SHERMAN NURSING HOME, et al., Respondents, et al., Defendant. [878 NYS2d 908]—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Spinner, J.), dated December 13, 2007, which granted the motion of the defendants Bishop Jonathan G. Sherman Episcopal Nursing Home, also known as Bishop Sherman Nursing Home, St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, Episcopal Health Services, Inc., and Church Charity Foundation of Long Island, also known as Church Charity Foundation, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the plaintiff’s contention, the Supreme Court correctly granted the motion of the defendants Bishop Jonathan G. Sherman Episcopal Nursing Home, also known as Bishop Sherman Nursing Home, St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, Episcopal Health Services, Inc., and Church Charity Foundation of Long Island, also known as Church Charity Foundation, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them. In support of their motion, the moving defendants demonstrated their prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law (see ; ). In opposition, the plaintiff’s speculative and conclusory assertions failed to raise a triable issue of fact (see ; ). Rivera, J.P., Dillon, Belen and Hall, JJ., concur.
