[*1]Nelson Lebron, Appellant,
v
SML Veteran Leather, LLC, Respondent.
Submitted by Brian J. Isaac, for appellant.
Submitted by Christopher M. Yapchanyk, for
respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs. [*2]
Applying New Jersey law and viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to plaintiff (see Laidlow v Hariton Mach. Co., Inc., 170 NJ 602, 607, 790 A2d 884, 887 [2002]), defendant SML Veteran Leather, LLC demonstrated its entitlement to summary judgment dismissing the complaint against it. Plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact whether defendant's conduct constituted an intentional wrong under the New Jersey Workers' Compensation Act (see NJ Stat Ann § 34:15-8; compare Mull v Zeta Consumer Prods., 176 NJ 385, 392, 823 A2d 782, 786 [2003]; Laidlow, 170 NJ at 622, 790 A2d at 897-898).
