Opinion

2002-03550

Submitted March 5, 2003.

April 7, 2003.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dollard, J.), dated March 8, 2002, which granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiff Zan Diakos did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d).

Philip S. Milone, Forest Hills, N.Y., for appellants.

Picciano Scahill, P.C., Garden City, N.Y. (Robin Mary Heaney and Francis J. Scahill of counsel), for respondents.

Before: ANITA R. FLORIO, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, SANDRA L. TOWNES, WILLIAM F. MASTRO, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

We agree with the Supreme Court that the plaintiffs failed to come forward with sufficient admissible evidence to rebut the defendants' initial showing that the plaintiff Zan Diakos did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d) (see Amato v. Psaltakis, 279 A.D.2d 439). Thus, summary judgment dismissing the complaint was properly granted to the defendants (see Licari v. Elliott, 57 N.Y.2d 230).

FLORIO, J.P., S. MILLER, TOWNES and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
