Opinion
from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Patrick H. NeMoyer, J.), entered March 19, 2012. The order, among other things, denied the motion of defendant Dr. R. Reed Stevens for summary judgment.
It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: We affirm for reasons stated in the decision at Supreme Court. We add only that, to the extent that the amended complaint, as amplified by the bill of particulars, may be construed as alleging that defendant Dr. R. Reed Stevens is vicariously liable for the alleged negligence of defendant City Fence, Inc. (City Fence), the court properly noted in its decision that no such liability can attach because City Fence is an independent contractor (see Kleeman v Rheingold, 81 NY2d 270, 273-274 [1993]). Present—Smith, J.P, Lindley, Sconiers and Valentino, JJ.
