DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.

The defendant made a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law. In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether he sustained a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law ยง 5102(d). He failed to submit an affirmation or affidavit of any of his treating physicians. He did not submit any medical records in admissible form, indicating the treatment, if any, he received for his alleged injuries in the more than two-and one-half year period between the accident and the examination conducted by his expert. The plaintiff's expert failed to set forth what objective tests she performed in arriving at her conclusions concerning alleged restrictions of the plaintiff's range of motion (see, Smith v. Askew, 264 A.D.2d 834; Kauderer v. Penta, 261 A.D.2d 365; Grossman v. Wright, 268 A.D.2d 79 [2d Dept., May 8, 2000]), and further failed to set forth the treatment, if any, he received for his alleged injuries (see, Bandoian v. Bernstein, 254 A.D.2d 205; Williams v. Ciaramella, 250 A.D.2d 763).
