The defendants brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiffs' medical malpractice action regarding plastic surgery.
The self-represented plaintiff failed to attend the motion and had not communicated with the defendants for over a year.
The court granted the motion, noting that the plaintiff failed to produce the required expert evidence to establish a breach of the standard of care, whereas the defendants provided an unchallenged expert report.
The action was dismissed with costs awarded to the defendants.
