DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The defendants made a prima facie showing that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d). Thus, it was incumbent on the plaintiff to come forward with sufficient admissible evidence to raise a triable issue of fact (see, Gaddy v. Eyler, 79 N.Y.2d 955, 956-957). The plaintiff failed to do so, and thus the Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint ( see, Guzman v. Michael Mgt., 266 A.D.2d 508; Lisa v. Pastor, 262 A.D.2d 368; Kauderer v. Penta, 261 A.D.2d 365; Merisca v. Alford, 243 A.D.2d 613).
