We sustain the denial of plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment on his (unpleaded) Labor Law §240(1) claim, in the absence of a conclusive showing that plaintiff was an "employee" entitled to the special protections of the statute at the time of the alleged accident (see Stringer v. Musacchia, 11 NY3d 212 [2008]; Mordkofsky v. V.C.V. Dev. Corp., 76 NY2d 573 [1990]; Pigott v. State of New York, 199 AD2d 734 [1993]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
