DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
"[T]he joinder of an additional defendant by the filing of a supplemental summons and amended complaint may be accomplished only with prior judicial permission, and noncompliance renders the pleadings jurisdictionally defective" ( Perez v. Paramount Communications, 92 N.Y.2d 749, 753; see CPLR 1003). Here, the Supreme Court properly denied that branch of the plaintiff's motion which was for leave to supplement the summons and amend the complaint to add Brookhaven Beach Health Related Facility as an additional defendant since the applicable statute of limitations had expired when the Supreme Court denied the motion. The plaintiff's motion did not toll the statute of limitations as the plaintiff did not file a copy of the proposed supplemental summons and amended complaint with the Supreme Court when she filed her motion ( see Matter of Lodge v. D'Aliso, 2 A.D.3d 525, 526, lv denied N.Y.3d [Mar. 30, 2004]; cf. Perez v. Paramount Communications, supra at 754-755).
