Opinion

April 2, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Walter Schackman, J.).

Defendants complied with their bylaws in denying plaintiff a renewal of his contract and promotion in their residency training program. They are therefore immune from civil liability under Public Health Law § 2805-j (2), which became effective before plaintiff commenced this action, albeit after he left the training program, and which therefore applies ( cf., Matter of St. Vincent's Hosp. Med. Ctr. v. New York State Div. of Hous. Community Renewal, 109 A.D.2d 711, 712, affd 66 N.Y.2d 959).
