"[T]he proponent of a summary judgment motion must make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, tendering sufficient evidence to demonstrate the absence of any material issues of fact" (Alvarez v Prospect Hosp. , 68 NY2d 320, 324; see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr. , 64 NY2d 851, 853; Zuckerman v City of New York , 49 NY2d 557, 562). Failure to make such a prima facie showing requires a denial of the motion, regardless of the sufficiency of the opposing papers (see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp. , 68 NY2d at 324; Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr. , 64 NY2d at 853).
