Maureen Mulhern, Respondent, v Vincenzo Scibelli et al., Appellants, and Stop & Shop Supermarket Company, LLC, Respondent.
    [29 NYS3d 196]
   In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants Vincenzo Scibelli and Rose Scibelli appeal from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Velasquez, J.), entered July 20, 2015, as denied their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and all cross claims insofar as asserted against them.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs.

In support of their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and cross claims insofar as asserted against them, the defendants Vincenzo Scibelli and Rose Scibelli demonstrated their prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by establishing that they were free from fault in the happening of the alleged accident (see Miller v United Parcel Serv., Inc., 131 AD3d 1023, 1024 [2015]; Pollack v Margolin, 84 AD3d 1341, 1342 [2011]). However, in opposition, the plaintiff raised a triable issue of fact (see Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557, 562 [1980]). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied their motion.

Balkin, J.P., Roman, Maltese and Connolly, JJ., concur.
