273 A.D.2d 196 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

Submitted November 10, 1999.

June 5, 2000.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Shaw, J.), dated May 6, 1999, which granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d).

Gellman, Gellman Mandell, Lynbrook, N.Y. (Leonard S. Wetzlar of counsel), for appellant.

Picciano Scahill, P.C. (Rivkin, Radler Kremer, Uniondale, N Y [Evan H. Krinick and Cheryl F. Korman] of counsel), for respondent.

Before: LAWRENCE J. BRACKEN, J.P., FRED T. SANTUCCI, MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The affidavits of the defendant's experts submitted on the motion for summary judgment established that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d). The plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact on the issue (see, Gaddy v. Eyler, 79 N.Y.2d 955). The affidavit submitted by the plaintiff's treating chiropractor in opposition to the motion did not indicate what, if any, objective medical tests were performed to support his conclusion that the plaintiff suffered loss of cervical and thoracic motion (see, Grossman v. Wright, 268 A.D.2d 79 [2d Dept., May 8, 2000]; Logarzo v. D'Angelis-Hall, 248 A.D.2d 597; Lincoln v. Johnson, 225 A.D.2d 593, 594).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
