The defendant established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law dismissing the complaint by presenting a general release and waiver of liability signed by the plaintiff. If the language of the release is clear and unambiguous, it is binding on the parties and is a complete bar to an action on a claim which is the subject of the release.
