OPINION OF THE COURT
Rose H. Sconiers, J.
Following the close of plaintiff’s proof on the issue of liability, defendant Mount St. Mary’s Hospital of Niagara Falls (Hospital), pursuant to CPLR 4401, seeks judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s complaint. Defendant Hospital contends and plaintiff concedes that plaintiff’s proof has failed to establish a prima facie case of negligence in the Hospital’s care and treatment of Donald Lewis and that the Hospital cannot be held vicariously liable for any acts or omissions of the private attending surgeons, i.e., Drs. Charles D. Rice and Alfred J. Bax.
