PLEASE NOTE THE FIRMS PERMANENT ADDRESS HAS BEEN CHANGED TO 326 WALT WHITMAN RD SUITE C, HUNTINGTON STATION NY 11746

The failure to place evidence in proper form cannot be cured in a "supplemental opposition"

If you were injured due to someone else’s careless actions, we understand the challenges you may be facing. As a victim or a surviving family member, you could be dealing with the life-altering consequences of a serious accident.

“The magnetic resonance imaging (hereinafter the MRI) report of Dr. Steven Brownstein concerning McMullin’s lumbar spine, the MRI report of Dr. Dennis Rossi concerning McMullin’s cervical spine, the EMG report of Dr. Miguel Vargas, and the medical reports of Dr. Anthony Penepent were all insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact since they were unaffirmed (see Grasso v Angerami, 79 NY2d 813; Maffei v Santiago, 63 AD3d 1011; Niles v Lam Pakie Ho, 61 AD3d 657; Uribe-Zapata v Capallan, 54 AD3d 936; Patterson v NY Alarm Response Corp., 45 AD3d 656; Verette v Zia, 44 AD3d 747; Nociforo v Penna, 42 AD3d 514; Pagano v Kingsbury, 182 AD2d 268).

The “Final Narrative” medical report of Dr. Jerome L. Greenberg, McMullin’s chiropractor, was not in affidavit form and therefore was insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact (see Kunz v Gleeson, 9 AD3d 480; Doumanis v Conzo, 265 AD2d 296). In an attempt to cure that defect, McMullin submitted Dr. Greenberg’s affidavit, along with the “Final Narrative” report, in a surreply entitled, “Supplemental Affirmation in Opposition.” This was improper, and the Supreme Court should not have [*2]considered this submission (see Flores v Stankiewicz, 35 AD3d 804).”
