ANGELIKI PETROPOULOS et al., Appellants, v. NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY et al., Respondents.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.

The defendants made a prima facie showing that the plaintiff Angeliki Petropoulos (hereinafter the plaintiff) did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) through the submission of the plaintiff's medical records and the affirmation of the defense medical expert ( see Toure v. Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345; Gaddy v. Eyler, 79 NY2d 955; Hodges v. Jones, 238 AD2d 962; Fragale v. Geiger, 288 AD2d 431). The affidavit of the plaintiff's chiropractor submitted in opposition to the defendants' motions was too vague and conclusory, and therefore failed to raise a triable issue of fact ( see Almonacid v. Meltzer, 222 AD2d 631; Franchini v. Palmieri, 307 AD2d 1056, affd 1 NY3d 536).

Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motions for summary judgment in their favor dismissing the complaint.
