In this medical malpractice action, plaintiff’s failure in these circumstances to submit an affidavit of merit in opposition to defendant’s CPLR 3012 motion to dismiss mandates dismissal of the action as a matter of law (see, Kel Mgt. Corp. v Rogers & Wells, 64 NY2d 904). Plaintiff’s contrary argu[357]*357merits are unpersuasive. Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Ross, Asch and Kassal, JJ.
