Nandan and Samsoodeen Nandan appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ruditzky, J.), dated August 22, 2002, as denied their cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the injured plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d).
