Hernandez v. Adelango Trucking
Opinion of the Court
Dismissal of the complaint as against defendants Adelango Trucking and Jose F. Veloso is warranted because, “ ‘if plaintiffis] cannot meet the threshold for serious injuiy against one [set of] defendants], [they] cannot meet it against the other’ ” (DeJesus v Paulino, 61 AD3d 605, 608 [2009], quoting Lopez v Simpson, 39 AD3d 420, 421 [2007]).
In light of the foregoing, the issue of liability is rendered academic with respect to all defendants (see Williams, 70 AD3d at 523). Concur — Gonzalez, P.J., Tom, Sweeny, Renwick and Román, JJ.
