SSM No. 13
defendant proffered a prima facie case that the action should be
barred on the ground of release.  In opposition, plaintiff failed
to raise a triable of fact that the release should be set aside
on the ground of mutual mistake (see Mangini v McClurg, 24 NY2d
556, 563-566 [1969]) or because the settlement was not "fairly
and knowingly made" (Farrington v Harlem Sav. Bank, 280 NY 1, 4
[1939]).
