The following numbered papers were read on this motion: NYSCEF Document Numbers 14-21, 23-31. DECISION AND ORDER Upon the foregoing papers, having heard oral argument, and due deliberation having been had1, the within motion is determined as follows. Issue The within motion raises an issue of how minimal in terms of information provided can a plaintiff’s affidavit in a hit-in-the-rear case be in order to make out a prima facie case on her motion for summary judgment against the defendant on the issue of liability. Background The complaint in this action alleged that defendant Rolando Perez-Gomez negligently came in contact with the vehicle operated by plaintiff Jacqueline Oliva on October 21, 2022, on 38th Street at or near its intersection with 4th Avenue, in Brooklyn, causing plaintiff to sustain serious injuries (see generally NYSCEF Doc No. 17, complaint). Plaintiff has now moved against defendants for summary judgment on the issue of liability and to strike defendants’ fourth affirmative defense alleging comparative negligence (see NYSCEF Doc No. 14, notice of motion at 1). Evidence Plaintiff’s evidence in support of her motion2 comprises her own affidavit and a certified police report. The police report states that Vehicle 1 (operated by defendant) did collide with Vehicle 2 (operated by plaintiff) on the rear. The location is set forth as 38th Street at the intersection 4th Avenue. Consisting of five paragraphs, plaintiff’s affidavit is exceedingly short. Aside from stating that she was the plaintiff and sustained serious injuries with continued pain, the affidavit’s contents are as follows: 2. On October 21, 2022, at approximately 10:00 p.m., I was the driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident on 38th Street at or near its intersection with 4th Avenue, in the County of Kings, State of New York. 3. At the time of the accident, I was stopped for traffic ahead of me on 38th Street at or near its intersection with 4th Avenue, when a vehicle I now know to be owned by defendant, HOYT TRANSPORTATION CORP. and operated by defendant, ROLANDO PEREZ-GOMEZ, suddenly struck my vehicle in the rear.
