Opinion

December 18, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lonschein, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

We agree with the Supreme Court that the plaintiff failed to establish that there is a triable issue of fact as to whether he sustained a "serious injury" within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) ( see, Licari v Elliott, 57 N.Y.2d 230; Rhind v Naylor, 187 A.D.2d 498; Serio v Radin, 168 A.D.2d 612; Wright v Melendez, 140 A.D.2d 337). Bracken, J.P., O'Brien, Ritter, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
