In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the plaintiffs appeal from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kutner, J.), dated May 29, 1990, which granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, and (2) an order of the same court, dated October 23, 1990, which denied the motion which was denominated by the plaintiffs as a motion for renewal, but which was, in actuality, a motion for reargument.
Ordered that the order dated May 29, 1990, is affirmed; and it is further,

On August 28, 1987, the plaintiff Elaine Jacondino was injured when her automobile collided with a vehicle driven by the defendant Anthony Lovis and owned by the defendant Deborah Lovis. The injured plaintiff and her husband subsequently commenced the instant action against Anthony and Deborah Lovis, and the defendants moved for summary judgment, contending that Elaine Jacondino had not sustained a "serious injury” as defined by Insurance Law §5102 (d). In support of the motion, the defendants relied upon an unsworn report prepared by their examining physician which stated that there was no objective evidence that the plaintiff Elaine Jacondino suffered from "continuing injury”.

Therefore, the motion was in actuality one for reargument, and since no appeal lies from the denial of a motion for reargument, the appeal from the order dated October 23, 1990, is dismissed (see, Chiarella v Quitoni, 178 AD2d 502; Huttner v McDaid, supra).
