Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lucindo Suarez, J.), entered October 21, 2019, which denied plaintiff's motion to amend the complaint to add a cause of action for wrongful death, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
To support the amendment sought here, plaintiff was required to submit competent medical proof of a causal connection between decedent's 2015 work-related injury and his death, which plaintiff claims was due to complications stemming from a 2018 epidural injection (see Frangiadakis v 51 W. 81st St. Corp., 161 AD3d 478, 479 [1st Dept 2018]; MBIA Ins. Corp. v [*2]Greystone & Co., Inc., 74 AD3d 499, 500 [1st Dept 2010]); Gambles v Davis, 32 AD3d 224, 225 [1st Dept 2006]). Having reviewed the
record, we agree with Supreme Court that plaintiffs failed to make this showing.THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
