Stephens v. Westchester County Medical Center

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 5, 1994
210 A.D.2d 216 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

December 5, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Nastasi, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Under all of the circumstances of this case, we agree with the Supreme Court's conclusion that the defendant established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law. The plaintiff failed to submit an affidavit of an expert medical witness in opposition to that submitted by the defendant in support of its cross motion. Therefore, the plaintiff did not produce the requisite proof to rebut the defendant's prima facie showing (see, Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320; Canter v Mulnick, 93 A.D.2d 751, affd 60 N.Y.2d 689).

We have reviewed the plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Hart and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
