    Lilliam Rivera et al., Respondents, v 2300 X-tra Wholesalers, Inc., Doing Business as Ultra Food Club, Also Known as King Randall Supermarket, Appellant, et al., Defendant.
    [658 NYS2d 264]
   Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alan Saks, J.), entered January 23, 1997, which, in an action for personal injuries allegedly sustained in a trip and fall over a metal plate affixed to a supermarket floor, insofar as appealed from, denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

While plaintiff does not challenge the fact that the metal plate over which she allegedly tripped was no more than one-half inch higher than the floor, "[t]here is no rule that a hole in a public thoroughfare must under all circumstances be of a particular depth before its existence can give rise to a legal liability” (Wilson v Jaybro Realty & Dev. Co., 289 NY 410, 412). Upon the present record, we cannot say as a matter of law that this projection had "none of the characteristics of a trap or a snare” (Morales v Riverbay Corp., 226 AD2d 271). Concur— Rosenberger, J. P., Nardelli, Rubin and Williams, JJ.
