Head Matter:
Jeanette Klein et al., Respondents, v Paul Wallace, Defendant, and Kenneth Byers et al., Appellants.

Opinion:
Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and defendants' motion granted. Memorandum: Upon our review of the record, we conclude that defendant Wallace established his entitlement to summary judgment as a matter of law and that plaintiffs failed to establish a triable issue of fact whether Dr. Wallace exercised such control over the members of the medical staff at United Medical Consultants as to subject him to vicarious liability for their negligence and/or malpractice.
