OPINION OF THE COURT
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs. The certified question should be answered by stating that the preclusion order was properly vacated.
Under the circumstances of this case, the Appellate Division correctly determined that plaintiffs demonstrated the existence of a meritorious claim for purposes of avoiding preclusion. Specifically, the expert witness disclosure submitted by plaintiffs pursuant to CPLR 3101 (d) (1) (i) detailed the expert medical opinion evidence supporting the claim.
*873 On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed, etc.
