Soldano v. City of New York

The Supreme Court properly concluded that the appellants failed to meet their prima facie burden of showing that the plaintiff in action No. 1, Nicholas Soldano, did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result of the subject accident (see Toure v Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345 [2002]; Gaddy v Eyler, 79 NY2d 955, 956-957 [1992]). Since the appellants failed to meet their prima facie burden as movants, we need not review the sufficiency of the opposition papers (see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320 [1986]). Mastro, J.P, Florio, Dickerson, Belen and Lott, JJ., concur.
