[*1]Maritza P., as Mother and Guardian ad Litem of Ismael Daniel M., et al., Plaintiffs-Respondents,

v

Devereux Foundation, et al., Defendants-Appellants,



Brian Washington, Defendant.




Phelan, Phelan & Danek, LLP, Albany (Timothy S. Brennan of counsel), for appellants.

Alexander J. Wulwick, New York, for respondents.



Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Geoffrey D. Wright, J.), entered on or about December 17, 2015, which, to the extent appealed from, denied defendants-appellants' (defendants) motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Defendants having satisfied their initial burden on summary judgment, the burden shifted to plaintiffs to raise a triable issue of fact (see CPLR 3212[b]; Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324 [1986]). In satisfaction of their burden, plaintiffs offered competent proof in the form of deposition testimony, medical records and police records, which raised triable issues (see generally N.X. v Cabrini Med. Ctr., 97 NY2d 247 [2002]; Kelly G. v Board of Educ. of City of Yonkers, 99 AD3d 756 [2d Dept 2012]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
