Parties, 399 N.E.2d 947 Gloria M. FLORIO et al., Appellants, v. Albert W. COOK, Respondent.
Decision Date15 November 1979
CourtNew York Court of Appeals
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs, for the reasons stated in its memorandum so far as the same relates to the claim of continuous treatment. We note, in addition, that the plaintiff's contention that the Statute of Limitations was tolled by application of the doctrine of equitable estoppel (Simcuski v. Saeli, 44 N.Y.2d 442, 406 N.Y.S.2d 259, 377 N.E.2d 713) must also be rejected, as neither fraud nor fraudulent concealment was pleaded (Immediate v. St. John's Queens Hosp., 48 N.Y.2d 671, 421 N.Y.S.2d 875, 397 N.E.2d 385).

COOKE, C. J., and JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER, JJ., concur.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
