Head Matter:
Anna Livson, Appellant, v Shelley Pazer et al., Respondents.
[993 NYS2d 915]

Opinion:
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Vaughan, J.), dated May 13, 2013, which granted the motion of the defendants Shelley Pazer and Gary Baronofsky for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them on the ground that she did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result of the subject accident, and that branch of the cross motion of the defendant Dmitry Zarudyansky which sought the same relief.
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs to the defendants Shelley Pazer and Gary Baronofsky.
The defendants established their respective prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by showing that the plaintiff 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]). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact. Therefore, the Supreme Court properly granted summary judgment to the defendants.
