On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules,
order, insofar as appeal from, reversed, with costs; motion of
defendants Metropolitan Transportation Authority Bus Company and
Isael Reyes for summary judgment denied; and certified question
not answered as unnecessary. On this record, whether the
emergency doctrine precludes liability presents a question of
fact and, therefore, summary judgment for defendants Metropolitan
Transportation Authority Bus Company and Isael Reyes was
inappropriate. Chief Judge Lippman and Judges Pigott, Rivera,
Abdus-Salaam, Stein and Fahey concur.

Decided November 19, 2015
