Ordered that the order is modified, on the law, by adding thereto a provision that the denial of the motion is with leave to renew upon the completion of discovery; as so modified, the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court properly denied the motion of the plaintiff Robert Kiernan for summary judgment. When Kiernan made his motion, discovery, including the exchange of X-ray materials that were the basis of this plaintiffs claims, was still outstanding ( See CPLR 3212 [f]; Destin v New York City Tr. Auth., 303 AD2d 713; Morris v Hochman, 296 AD2d 481). However, the motion should have been denied with leave to renew upon the completion of discovery.
