 On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules, order affirmed, with
 costs. In this context, defendants MDC Concourse Center, LLC; McGuire Development
 Company, LLC; Maguire Management Company, LLC; and R.D. Trucking &
 Transportation, Inc. established prima facie their entitlement to judgment as a matter of
 law by “submitting uncontroverted evidence that a storm was ongoing at the time of
 [plaintiff]’s fall” (Sherman v New York State Thruway Auth., 27 NY3d 1019, 1021
 [2016]). In opposition, plaintiff failed to raise a triable question of fact. Chief Judge
 DiFiore and Judges Rivera, Stein, Fahey, Garcia, Wilson and Feinman concur.

 Decided February 18, 2020
