Faust Goetz Schenker & Blee LLP, New York (Peter Kreymer of counsel), for
respondent.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Saliann Scarpulla, J.), entered June 8, 2011, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted the motion of defendant Matrix Construction Services, Inc. (Matrix) for summary judgment dismissing the Labor Law §§ 240 (1) and 241 (6) claims as against it, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Accordingly, it cannot be held liable for plaintiff's injuries under Labor Law §§ 240 (1) or 241 (6) (see Russin v Louis N. Picciano & Son, 54 NY2d 311 [1981]; Aversano v JWH Contr., LLC, 37 AD3d 745 [2d Dept 2007]). Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Friedman, Renwick and Freedman, JJ.
