MITCHELL v. KOWALSKI

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court correctly concluded that the plaintiffs failed to establish prima facie that the plaintiff Dawnett Mitchell sustained a "serious injury" as defined by Insurance Law § 5102(d). The only medical testimony offered at trial was that of a chiropractor. Although the chiropractor testified to the degree of limitation in range of motion of the plaintiff's neck, he did not testify to the objective tests used to arrive at his conclusions (see, Grossman v. Wright, ___ A.D.2d ___ [2d Dept, May 8, 2000]; Kauderer v. Penta, 261 A.D.2d 365; Lobo v. Singh, 259 A.D.2d 523). Furthermore, there was no evidence of a medically-determined injury or impairment which prevented the plaintiff from performing substantially all of her normal activities for 90 out of the first 180 days subsequent to the accident (see, Grossman v. Wright, supra; Taylor v. Taylor, 260 A.D.2d 571; Ryan v. Xuda, 243 A.D.2d 457). Therefore, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion at the close of the plaintiffs' evidence for judgment as a matter of law and dismissed the complaint.

O'BRIEN, J.P., ALTMAN, McGINITY, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
