Richard Boyles and Tyrie Lyn Boyles appeal from Judge Parker's grant of summary judgment in favor of Lonnie Petrucelli. This is a slip-and-fall diversity action in which the Boyles sued their landlord Petrucelli to recover damages for personal injuries due to Petrucelli's alleged negligence. Richard Boyles sues for damages suffered as a result of his falling on a rotting wooden step leading to the basement of his residence. Tyrie Lyn Boyles sues for loss of consortium resulting from her husband's injuries. We affirm for substantially the reasons stated by the district court. Boyles v. Petrucelli, 94-CV-7286 (BDP) (S.D.N.Y. April 18, 1996).
