OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.
Plaintiff, an undergraduate student, was shot without provocation by a nonstudent while standing outside a fraternity house located in a residential area of defendant’s campus known as the “fraternity quad.” Plaintiff alleged that inadequate security and lighting were a proximate cause of his injuries. Supreme Court denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, and by a divided Court the Appellate Division reversed and granted defendant summary judgment.
