MEMORANDUM:
          The order of the Appellate Division, insofar as

plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of
liability on his Labor Law § 240 (1) claim and remitting the case

to the Appellate Division for consideration of the issues raised
but not determined on the appeal to that court, and, as so
modified, affirmed, and the certified question should be answered
in the negative.
            Plaintiff is not entitled to summary judgment under
Labor Law § 240 (1).      While using an A-frame ladder, plaintiff
fell after receiving an electrical shock.           Questions of fact
exist as to whether the ladder failed to provide proper
protection, and whether plaintiff should have been provided with
additional safety devices (see Blake v Neighborhood Hous. Servs.
of N.Y. City, 1 NY3d 280, 287 [2003]; Barreto v Metropolitan
Transp. Auth., 25 NY3d 426 [2015], rearg denied 25 NY3d 1211
[2015]).    Defendants Lime Energy Co. and Jones Lang LaSalle
Americas, Inc. were properly granted summary judgment on their
contractual indemnification claims against Knight Electrical
Services Corp.
