Michael G. Cataldo, Appellant, v Diane Lincoln, as Administratrix of the Estate of Philip W. Lincoln, Deceased, Respondent.
[598 NYS2d 729]

—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Floyd, J.), entered March 1, 1991, which granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

We agree with the Supreme Court that the plaintiff failed to raise any triable issues of fact as to whether he sustained a "serious injury” within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) (see, Licari v Elliot, 57 NY2d 230 ; Tipping-Cestari v Kilkenny, 174 AD2d 663 ). Mangano, P. J., Sullivan, O’Brien, Ritter and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
