The defendant dentists and physicians brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's dental and medical malpractice action.
The plaintiff alleged that he suffered a mandibular fracture following a wisdom tooth extraction and that the defendants failed to properly diagnose the injury.
The plaintiff's lawyer was previously removed from the record, and the plaintiff failed to appoint a new lawyer or serve notice of self-representation.
The defendants filed expert reports opining that they met the standard of care.
The plaintiff failed to respond with any expert evidence.
The court granted the motion and dismissed the action, finding no genuine issue requiring a trial without expert evidence from the plaintiff.
