OPINION OF THE COURT
Michael J. Dontzin, J.
The defendant, Dr. Joseph Vittorio, moves and the codefendant, St. Vincent’s Hospital (St. Vincent’s), cross-moves to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that it fails to state a cause of action (CPLR 3211 [a] [7]). The plaintiff cross-moves for summary judgment (CPLR 3212).
The plaintiff’s cross motion for summary judgment must be denied as premature. "A motion for summary judgment *294may not be made before issue is joined (CPLR 3212 [a]) and the requirement is strictly adhered to”. (City of Rochester v Chiarella, 65 NY2d 92, 101.)
