Delpilar v. Browne
Opinion of the Court
—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Polizzi, J.), dated April 12, 2000, which granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The defendants established a prima facie case that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) (see, Gaddy v Eyler, 79 NY2d 955). In opposition, the plaintiff submitted, inter alia, the affirmed medical report of his examining physician dated December 28, 1999, which stated that he suffered from chronic cervical and lumbosacral musculo-ligamentous strain and sprain, and left
Furthermore, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that he had sustained a medically-determined injury or impairment of a non-permanent nature which prevented him from performing all of the material acts which constituted his usual and customary daily activities for a period of not less than 90 days during the 180-day period immediately following the accident (see, Licari v Elliott, 57 NY2d 230; Greene v Miranda, 272 AD2d 441; Carpluk v Freidman, 269 AD2d 349; Cullum v Washington, 227 AD2d 370; Atamian v Mintz, 216 AD2d 430).
Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment. O’Brien, J. P., Krausman, Goldstein, Schmidt and Crane, JJ., concur.
