Dalevera Henry, Respondent, v Victor Temple, Respondent, and Mary Beth Petrozzo, Appellant.
    [647 NYS2d 980]
   In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant Mary Beth Petrozzo appeals, as limited by her brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Hall, J.), dated August 22, 1995, as denied her motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and cross claims insofar as asserted against her.

Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the appellant’s motion for summary judgment is granted, the complaint and cross claims are dismissed as against the appellant, and the action against the remaining defendant is severed.

The evidence submitted by the appellant made out a prima facie case that the plaintiff had not sustained a serious injury as defined by Insurance Law § 5102 (d), and the plaintiff failed to refute it (see, Beckett v Conte, 176 AD2d 774). Mangano, P. J., O’Brien, Pizzuto, Goldstein and Luciano, JJ., concur.
