PILLA v. LA FLOR DE MAYO EXPRESS, INC

The requirements of CPLR 305 (b) were complied with in the instant case. While the words "personal injury" may not apprise the defendants of the precise legal theory behind plaintiff's case, they adequately apprise defendants of the "nature of the action" at this stage of the litigation (cf., Drummer v. Valeron Corp., 154 A.D.2d 897, lv denied 75 N.Y.2d 705).
