DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal from the order is dismissed; and it is further,
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed; and it is further,
ORDERED that the respondent is awarded one bill of costs.
The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action (see, Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment (see, CPLR 5501[a][1]).
The defendant's motion papers established a prima facie case for summary judgment (see, Licari v. Elliott, 57 N.Y.2d 230). In opposition to the motion, the plaintiff submitted a report prepared by a chiropractor. Although the chiropractor's report stated "I hereby affirm the truth of the foregoing", the chiropractor failed to appear before a notary or other such official to formally declare the truth of the contents of the document. Accordingly, the chiropractor's report did not constitute competent evidence (see, CPLR 2106; Doumanis v. Conzo, 265 A.D.2d 296), and the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint was properly granted.
