The defendant brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's medical malpractice and informed consent action.
The plaintiff, who was self-represented for most of the litigation, failed to serve any expert medical report to support her claims, despite repeated requests from the defendant's counsel and court orders.
The court found that expert evidence was required for both the negligence and informed consent claims, and that the case did not fall within the "clearest of cases" exception.
Consequently, the court granted summary judgment, dismissing the action.
