Opinion
March 7, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rutledge, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs payable by the appellants appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
The Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in granting the plaintiffs' motion for reargument, and upon reargument, granting leave to amend the complaint to add a cause of action to recover damages for wrongful death. The physician's affidavit sufficiently set forth a causal connection between the alleged malpractice and the decedent's death (see, Kordonsky v Andrst, 172 A.D.2d 497; Buono v. Victory Mem. Hosp., 151 A.D.2d 633; cf., Sweeney v. Henry F. Gardstein, Jr., M.D., P.C., 160 A.D.2d 1002). Bracken, J.P., Miller, Copertino, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
