ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
A determination regarding whether to preclude a party from introducing the testimony of an expert witness at trial based on the party's failure to comply with CPLR 3101(D)(1)(i) is left to the sound discretion of the court (see, Hubbard v. Platzer, 260 A.D.2d 605 [2d Dept., Apr. 26, 1999]; Lyall v. City of New York, 228 A.D.2d 566 ). Under the circumstances here, the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendants' motion.
S. MILLER, J.P., THOMPSON, KRAUSMAN, FLORIO, and SCHMIDT, JJ., concur.
