This 1st day of April 2002, upon consideration of the briefs of the
parties and the record below, it appears to the Court that the judgment of the
Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons set forth
in its decision dated September 4, 2001.
1The appellant requests leave to amend his complaint to add a claim under the
doctrine of res ipsa loquitor.  This request was not presented to the Superior Court in the
first instance and we decline to consider it in this appeal.  SUPR. CT. R. 8.  The appellant’s
request for medical records is denied as moot.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the
Superior Court is AFFIRMED.1
