Erica Y. Darrisaw, as 
Administratrix of the Estate of 
Dolores N. Schuyler, Deceased,
            Appellant,
        v.
Strong Memorial Hospital, &c. et 
al., 
            Respondents.
Submitted by John H. Beaumont, for appellant.
Submitted by Christian C. Casini, for respondents.
MEMORANDUM:
 The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed
with costs.  We conclude defendants demonstrated their
entitlement to summary judgment on the negligence cause of
action.  In opposition, plaintiff failed to adduce sufficient

evidence to raise a triable issue of fact on the allegations that
Nurse Baldwin grabbed decedent's arm or caused her to fall to the
ground.
Additionally, we agree with the Appellate Division
majority that plaintiff's negligent supervision claim is not
before the court because neither the cause of action nor its
underlying facts were raised in the complaint.
