Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York March 22, 2011 (Al-Khilewi v. Turman)

*1022The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the plaintiffs cross motion for leave to amend the bill of particulars. The amendment added a claim of exacerbation of preexisting disc herniations, and would require the defendant to reorient his defense strategy (see Barrera v City of New York, 265 AD2d 516, 518 [1999]; Markarian v Hundert, 262 AD2d 369, 370 [1999]).
