Castagnazzi v. Schlecker

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 13, 1987
129 A.D.2d 605 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

April 13, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Bellard, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The record demonstrates that the defendant was personally served with a summons with notice, indicating that the action was based upon medical malpractice. Therefore, that branch of the defendant's motion seeking dismissal of the complaint on the ground of lack of personal jurisdiction (see, CPLR 3211 [a] [8]) was properly denied (cf., Parker v Mack, 61 N.Y.2d 114).

That branch of the motion seeking dismissal on Statute of Limitations grounds was also properly denied, inasmuch as the plaintiffs' motion papers alleged that the facts necessary to demonstrate that the statute had been tolled could not then be stated (see, CPLR 3211 [d]). Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Niehoff, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
