HATTIE GRANT, Respondent, v. PARSONS COACH, LTD., et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The defendants failed to make a prima facie showing that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) ( see Toure v. Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345; Gaddy v. Eyler, 79 NY2d 955). The conclusion of the defendants' examining physician that the plaintiff had no disability or impairment was directly contradicted by his report of the plaintiff's examination, which recorded objectively-measured limitations of range of motion of the plaintiff's cervical and lumbar spine and left shoulder. Since the defendants failed to establish a prima facie case, "it is not necessary to consider whether the [plaintiff's] papers in opposition to the defendants' motion were sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact" ( Coscia v. 938 Trading Corp., 283 AD2d 538; see Chaplin v. Taylor, 273 AD2d 188; Mariaca-Olmos v. Mizrhy, 226 AD2d 437).

Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the defendants' cross motion for summary judgment.
