3827. M.V., AN INFANT BY HIS FATHER AND NATURAL GUARDIAN, ETC. plf-ap, v. THE CITY OF NEW YORK def-res — Susan R. Nudelman, New York, for ap — Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Benjamin Welikson of counsel), for res — Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Norma Ruiz, J.), entered June 23, 2015, which granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Dismissal of the complaint was proper in this action where the infant plaintiff was injured when, while he was participating in a game of tag, a fellow classmate “accidentally bumped” into him, causing him to crash into the wall of the gymnasium. Plaintiff’s own testimony as to how the accident occurred demonstrates that no additional supervision could have prevented his injury (see Jorge C. v. City of New York, 128 AD3d 410, 411 [1st Dept 2015]. Furthermore, the infant plaintiff’s accident was caused by the “spontaneous act of one student running directly into another student in effort to avoid being tagged,” which could not reasonably have been foreseen or prevented, and thus would not result in the school being held liable (Lizardo v. Board of Educ. of the City of N.Y., 77 AD3d 437, 438 [1st Dept 2010]).
