In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants Richard Gissentanner and Marcia MacEntee s/h/a Marcia Mentee appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kramer, J.), dated August 3, 1999, as denied their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them on the ground that the plaintiff failed to sustain a serious injury within the meaning ofInsurance Law § 5102(d) .
Cullen and Dykman, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Joseph Miller of counsel), for appellants.
Pokorny, Schrenzel Pokorny, P.C., Brooklyn, N.Y. (Mark E. Cohen of counsel), for respondent.
DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., THOMAS R. SULLIVAN, SONDRA MILLER, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, the complaint is dismissed insofar as asserted against the appellants, and the action against the remaining defendants is severed.
In opposition to the appellants' prima facie demonstration of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact that she sustained a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d) (see, Mendola v. Demetres, 212 A.D.2d 515 ). Accordingly, the appellants are entitled to summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them.
