[*1]Ana J. Smith, Plaintiff-Respondent,

v

The City of New York et al., Defendants, Esther Zarembski, Defendant-Appellant.




Perry, Van Etten, Rozanski & Kutner, LLP, Melville (Megan R. Pollastro of counsel), for appellant.



Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Mitchell J. Danziger, J.), entered April 6, 2021, which denied defendant Esther Zarembski's motion to preclude plaintiff from offering evidence at trial with respect to any of the particulars set forth in defendant's demand for a verified bill of particulars, or, in the alternative, to compel plaintiff to provide a bill of particulars by a date certain, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

In response to defendant's demand, plaintiff furnished a bill of particulars that contained an adequate description of the date and approximate time of the alleged occurrence, the location of the accident, the acts or omissions of defendant constituting negligence, and the manner in which defendant obtained notice of the dangerous condition (see CPLR 3043[a][1]-[5], [c]; see e.g. Harris v Ariel Transp. Corp., 37 AD3d 308 [1st Dept 2007]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
