Head Matter:
David Carpenter, Appellant, v 149 Edison Street, Inc., Doing Business as Lonestar Construction, Respondent.
[689 NYS2d 911]

Opinion:
—Order insofar as appealed from unanimously reversed on the law without costs, motion denied and negligence cause of action and Labor Law § 200 claim reinstated. Memorandum: Supreme Court erred in granting defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the negligence cause of action and Labor Law § 200 claim. In support of the motion, defendant submitted only the affirmation of its attorney, which is not sufficient to establish defendant's entitlement to judgment as a matter of law (see, Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324-325).
