Opinion

Argued September 15, 1999

Decided October 14, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court (Eugene F. Pigott, Jr., J.).

Nira T. Kermisch, Rochester, for appellant.

Brown Tarantino, L. L. P., Rochester (Ann M. Campbell of counsel), for respondent.

Order affirmed, without costs. We agree with Supreme Court and the Appellate Division that the examination room of the medical office of the orthopedic surgeon, into which plaintiff brought her service dog, was not a "public facility" within the meaning of Civil Rights Law § 47. No other issue is before us.

Concur: Chief Judge KAYE and Judges BELLACOSA, SMITH, LEVINE, WESLEY and ROSENBLATT. Taking no part: Judge CIPARICK.
