MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be modified,
without costs, by denying the motions of defendants and the
third-party defendant for summary judgment insofar as they seek
dismissal of plaintiff's Labor Law § 240 (1) claim and, as so
modified, affirmed.  
Triable issues of fact exist as to whether the

defendants provided proper protection under Labor Law § 240 (1). 
Plaintiff's remaining contentions lack merit.
