140 A.D.3d 950 32 N.Y.S.3d 508

Aundrea Washington, Appellant, et al., Plaintiff, v Kenny Pichardo, Respondent.

[32 NYS3d 508]

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff Aundrea Washington appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Solomon, J.), dated January 8, 2015, which granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted by her on the ground that she did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result of the subject accident.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendant met his prima facie burden of showing that the appellant did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result of the subject accident (see Toure v Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345 [2002]; Gaddy v Eyler, 79 NY2d 955, 956-957 [1992]). He submitted competent medical evidence establishing, prima facie, that the alleged injury to the appellant’s right shoulder did not constitute a serious injury under either the permanent consequential limitation of use or significant limitation of use categories of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) (see Staff v Yshua, 59 AD3d 614 [2009]). In opposition, the appellant failed to raise a triable issue of fact (see McLoud v Reyes, 82 AD3d 848, 849 [2011]; Resek v Morreale, 74 AD3d 1043, 1044 [2010]; Raleigh v Ram, 60 AD3d 747, 747-748 [2009]).

Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defend*951ant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted by the appellant.

Dillon, J.P., Miller, Hinds-Radix and Brathwaite Nelson, JJ., concur.
