Mercedes v Wyckoff Hgts. Med. Ctr. 2006 NY Slip Op 01147 [26 AD3d 361] February 14, 2006 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, April 19, 2006

Juana Mercedes et al., Appellants,
v
Wyckoff Heights Medical Center et al., Respondents et al., Defendants.

—[*1]In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for medical malpractice, the plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Steinhardt, J.), dated July 9, 2004, which granted the respective motions of the respondents Wyckoff Heights Medical Center and Yong Wang, and Jung K. Sung, which were to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against them pursuant to CPLR 3126 for failure to provide disclosure and denied the plaintiffs' cross motion to restore the action to the trial calendar.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law and in the exercise of discretion, without costs or disbursements, the motions are denied, and the cross motion is granted.

Under the particular circumstances of this case, the dismissal of the complaint as to the respondents, and the denial of the plaintiffs' cross motion to restore the action, were not warranted. Prudenti, P.J., Adams, Spolzino and Covello, JJ., concur.
