In an action to recover damages for medical malpractice, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Meehan, J.), entered January 22, 1999, which granted the motion of the defendant Good Samaritan Hospital for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it and denied her cross motion to compel further discovery.

Milton Danon, Tarrytown, N.Y. (Richard Kerner of counsel), for appellant.

Heidell, Pittoni, Murphy Bach, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Daryl Paxson and Daniel S. Ratner of counsel), for respondent.

(Elliot Vout A. Cristantello of counsel), for defendant Anthony J. Rella.

FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, LEO F. McGINITY, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendant Good Samaritan Hospital established a prima facie case for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it. The plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact regarding the hospital's alleged negligence in failing to supervise or revoke the privileges of the defendant doctors (see, Sledziewski v. Cioffi, 137 A.D.2d 186, 189; cf., Raschel v. Rish, 110 A.D.2d 1067, 1068).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.

SANTUCCI, J.P., ALTMAN, FRIEDMANN and McGINITY, JJ., concur.
