MARC NICKOLSON et al., Respondents, v. GERIUS T. ALBISHARA et al., Appellants, et al., Defendants.

Plaintiffs expert radiologist failed to address, let alone rebut, defendants' radiologist's nonconclusory finding that plaintiffs disc bulges and herniations were caused by a preexisting degenerative condition, or even to relate the disc bulges and herniations to the accident; accordingly, plaintiff fails to raise an issue of fact as to whether his alleged injuries were caused by the accident ( see Delfino v Luzon, 60 AD3d 196, 198; Valentin v Pomilla, 59 AD3d 184, 185). It does not avail plaintiff for his attorney to assert that defendants' radiologist's findings of preexisting conditions "is unfounded and not based on any medically conclusive findings, as she did not review any prior MRI films, or ever physically examine the plaintiff, or review any of plaintiffs medical records" ( cf. Ramirez v Miller, 29 AD3d 310, 314). We dismiss the complaint as against all defendants upon a search of the record pursuant to CPLR 3212 (b) ( see Lopez v Simpson, 39 AD3d 420).

Motion seeking stay of trial dismissed as moot.
