      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Martin S. Rothman for appellant.
    
      Frederick A. O. Schwarz, Jr., Corporation Counsel (George Ian Brandon of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

On review of submissions pursuant to rule 500.2 (b) of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.2 [g]), order affirmed, without costs. We agree that, as a matter of law, insufficient time had elapsed after the end of this heavy storm to hold the city liable for failure to clear the sidewalks of snow and ice.
