OPINION OF THE COURT
Shanley N. Egeth, J.
This is a renewal of a prior motion by the plaintiff, Mary Williams, for leave to amend her complaint against the defendants to include allegations that a bilateral radical mastectomy was performed upon her without her informed consent. The defendant, Dr. Cordice, opposes this motion on the grounds that the Statute of Limitations applicable to the cause of action has expired and the claim is barred; and further, that the motion papers are procedurally deficient in that they do not include a physician’s affidavit.
