Opinion
September 22, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kohn, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.
We find that the injured plaintiff failed to establish that he sustained a "serious injury" within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d). The chiropractor's report and sworn affidavit submitted by the plaintiffs contained conclusory statements tailored to meet statutory requirements ( see, Gaddy v. Eyler, 79 N.Y.2d 955; Licari v. Elliott, 57 N.Y.2d 230). Accordingly, the court erred in denying the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint ( see, Medina v. Zalmen Reis Assocs., 239 A.D.2d 394; Panisse v. Jrs. Truck Rental, 239 A.D.2d 397; Pierreville v. Brookins, 239 A.D.2d 399; Mickelson v. Padang, 237 A.D.2d 495; Stallone v. County of Suffolk, 209 A.D.2d 403).
