DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, with costs.
The plaintiffs brought this action on September 24, 2001, seeking damages, inter alia, for medical malpractice and wrongful death. On January 15, 2003, the plaintiffs moved for leave to add David T. Ennis, M.D., P.C., the professional corporation under which the defendant Dr. David Ennis conducted his medical practice, as a defendant in the action. The Supreme Court granted the motion and Dr. Ennis appeals.
"An aggrieved party or a person substituted for him may appeal from any appealable * * * order" (CPLR 5511). A party is aggrieved by an order when it directly affects that party's individual rights ( see Scopelliti v. Town of New Castle, 92 N.Y.2d 944; D'Ambrosio v. City of New York, 55 N.Y.2d 454, 458-459). Since the Supreme Court's order affected only the rights of the corporation, and not Dr. Ennis' individual rights, he is not aggrieved by the order, and the appeal must be dismissed ( see e.g. Siegel v. Long Is. Jewish Med. Ctr., 309 A.D.2d 916; Broadway Equities v. Metropolitan Elec. Mgf. Co., 306 A.D.2d 426).
