Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiff's statements in his affidavit concerning his inability to perform his usual and customary daily activities for three to four months after the accident, without more, were insufficient to defeat the defendant's motion for summary judgment (see, Cullum v. Washington, 227 A.D.2d 370). Notably, the plaintiff, a retired widower who lived alone, failed to explain who performed household chores and shopped for him during this period of time.
Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, the medical reports which were submitted by the defendant in support of the motion were properly affirmed pursuant to CPLR 2106 and, therefore, had "the same force and effect of an affidavit" (CPLR 2106).
Mangano, P. J., Miller, Pizzuto and Krausman, JJ., concur.
