Stephanie Speken, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Dental Pyramids, P.C., Imad Ayoubi, D.D.S., Defendants-Respondents. and Stephen Gelfman, D.D.S., M.D., and Cary H. Miles, D.D.S., LLP and Cary H. Miles, D.D.S., Defendants.


Unpublished Opinion

Plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Hilary Gingold, J.), entered January 19, 2022, which denied her motion to compel further disclosure from defendants-respondents' expert witness in a dental malpractice action.

PRESENT: Hagler, J.P., Tisch, Michael, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Order (Hilary Gingold, J.), entered January 19, 2022, affirmed, with $10 costs.

Civil Court providently exercised its broad discretion in denying plaintiff's motion to compel defendants-respondents to submit a further expert response pursuant to CPLR 3101(d)(1)(i) (see Rivera v Montefiore Med. Ctr., 28 N.Y.3d 999, 1002 [2016]; M.V.B. Collision, Inc. v Allstate Ins. Co., 187 A.D.3d 884, 885 [2020]). Defendants-respondents' expert disclosure statement disclosed in "reasonable detail" the qualifications of their expert witness, the subject matter and the substance of the facts and opinions on which the expert was expected to testify, and a summary of the grounds for the expert's opinion (CPLR 3101[d][1][i]; see Velez v Roy, 191 A.D.3d 571, 572 [2021]; Conway v Elite Towing & Flatbedding Corp., 135 A.D.3d 893, 894 [2016]).

We have reviewed defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.

All concur.
