Wedinger of counsel), for ap — Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., Jericho (Marie G. Costello of counsel), for Carmen O’Jon, res — Law Office of James J. Toomey, New York (Evy L.

The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.

Vales established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law through the testimony of its corporate secretary that Vales performed no work on the sidewalk in front of the premises where plaintiff claimed she tripped and fell. The corporate secretary denied having found a permit issued to Vales for that location in his search of records, and explained that the issuance of a permit did not necessarily mean that work had been performed at the location.
