Matthias v Long Is. Jewish Med. Ctr. 2005 NY Slip Op 09688 [24 AD3d 627] December 19, 2005 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, February 15, 2006

Denise Matthias, Appellant,
v
Long Island Jewish Medical Center et al., Respondents, et al., Defendant.

—[*1]In an action to recover damages for medical malpractice, the plaintiff appeals from so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kelly, J.), entered January 6, 2004, as upon a jury verdict in favor of the defendants Long Island Jewish Medical Center and David Levy, sued herein as "John" Levy, is in favor of those defendants and against her, dismissing the complaint.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The plaintiff's contention that certain videotapes introduced into evidence at trial were not properly authenticated was waived (see People v Santos-Sosa, 233 AD2d 833 [1996]) and, in any event, is without merit (see Zegarelli v Hughes, 3 NY3d 64, 69 [2004]).

In addition, contrary to the plaintiff's contention, the trial court providently exercised its discretion in precluding certain demonstrative evidence that the plaintiff sought to introduce (see Harvey v Mazal Am. Partners, 79 NY2d 218, 223-224 [1992]).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit. H. Miller, J.P., Luciano, Dillon and Covello, JJ., concur.
