Opinion
October 27, 1997
Appeal from Supreme Court, Richmond County (Leone, J.)
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
CPLR 3101 (d) (1) (i) requires a party to disclose, among other information, "the substance of the facts and opinions on which each expert is expected to testify". The conclusory statement in the plaintiffs' supplemental response to Item 3 of the defendants' demand for expert information failed to satisfy the statutory requirement ( see, Chapman v. State of New York, 189 A.D.2d 1075; Brossoit v. O'Brien, 169 A.D.2d 1019). Consequently, the Supreme Court properly directed the plaintiffs to provide a further response.
Bracken, J.P., Pizzuto, Altman and Krausman, JJ., concur.
