McNEIL v. CRUTCHLEY

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
May 11, 1998

Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed in its entirety.

The affirmed reports of Frank M. Hudak, M.D., and Alexander B. Rimalovski, M.D., which the defendant submitted in support of his motion for summary judgment, made out a prima facie case that the plaintiff Marvin McNeil did not sustain a serious injury as defined by Insurance Law ยง 5102 (d). The affirmation of Richard Lee, a chiropractor, which was submitted in opposition to the motion, did not constitute competent evidence ( see, CPLR 2106; Feintuch v. Grella, 209 A.D.2d 377) and thus did not overcome the defendant's showing.

Bracken, J.P., Copertino, Santucci, Florio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
