Saraceno v Mazikowski

Holding The court affirmed summary judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s complaint, holding that the defendant was immune from liability under General Obligations Law § 9-103 because the plaintiff was engaged in hunting or sufficiently related activity. Additionally, the court found that the defendant met its burden under ordinary premises liability principles by showing the decedent did not create the dangerous condition or have notice of it.

The court’s words

activities that are sufficiently related to the recreational uses covered by General Obligations Law § 9-103 are also entitled to the immunity granted under that provision
