Gilmonio v Toussaint, 2010 NY Slip Op 50258(U)(App. Term 1st Dept. 2010).

Check out Byong Yol Yi v Canela, 2010 NY Slip Op 01580 (App. Div., 1st, 2010):
Plaintiff did not rely solely on MRIs showing bulging and herniated discs, as his doctor also performed straight-leg raising tests, which constitute “objective evidence of serious injury” (Brown v Achy, 9 AD3d 30, 32 [2004]).
They have said that before. I find it interesting how a completely subjective test can be deemed objective. I think, and do not quote me on this, but New Jersey Courts that have evaluated threshold issues (to the extent DiProspero has not eviscerated threshold in New Jersey) have considered SLR testing to be subjective.
