Gonzalez v. Guirguis
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; September 27, 1999; New York; State Appellate Court
In a medical malpractice case, plaintiffs appealed an order and judgment from the Supreme Court, Kings County, which dismissed their complaint against defendants Fayez Guirguis, Guy Hasten, Salvatore Farici, New York Methodist Hospital, and Ronald Seminara. The dismissal was granted due to the plaintiffs' failure to comply with multiple court orders regarding discovery over a two-year period and their inability to provide requested specific discovery. The trial court's decision to dismiss the complaint was deemed appropriate, affirming the order with costs awarded to the respondents who filed separate briefs. Judges Ritter, Thompson, Feuerstein, and Smith concurred with the ruling.
