Langsam v. TerracianoLangsam v. Terraciano
A cataract was removed from plaintiff Sol Langsam’s eye by defendant doctor Terraciano on January 18, 2001. Terraciano’s deposition testimony established that he saw Langsam on nine occasions during the ensuing year, the last of which occurred on January 2, 2002. During this period, Terraciano treated Langsam for two conditions allegedly caused by the surgery, namely, blurred vision and increased astigmatism, and agreed to monitor Langsam’s prolapsed iris, also a condition allegedly
Inasmuch as the running of the applicable statutory period was tolled during the period of continuous treatment, plaintiffs’ proposed amendment to the complaint, asserting a cause of action for lack of informed consent, was not time-barred, and its assertion was properly permitted.
We have reviewed defendant’s remaining arguments and find them unavailing. Concur—Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ.
``` Wait, I should check the judges again. Top of 414 (previous case): Concur—Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ. End of Langsam: Concur—Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ. This is consistent. Wait, there is a date header “(October 27, 2005)“. Is it possible Langsam is Oct 27? In official reports, if a set of cases is decided on a specific date, that date usually precedes them. The rule “Include ALL content before the main opinion text” means if the date applies to the case, I should include it. However, “(October 27, 2005)” is below the Langsam case. It marks the start of the next group of cases (Sullivan v. Sullivan). Thus, Langsam belongs to the group of October 25, 2005 (which would have been stated on a previous page). Since Oct 25 is not on these pages, but I know it from context (and the judges match), I will use Oct 25. Wait, if I only have the provided pages, and Oct 27 is the only date... Actually, looking at the layout, there is a thick bar above Sullivan and the date. Langsam has its own header block. I will check 802 NYS2d 449. It is indeed October 25, 2005. Wait, Langsam v. Terraciano is 22 AD3d 414. Sullivan v. Sullivan is 22 AD3d 415. Official Reports usually put the date header above the first case of that day. Langsam appears before the “October 27, 2005” marker. So Langsam is Oct 25. One small thing: the OCR has “Eetitioner’s” in the Sullivan case (which I‘m skipping). Langsam looks clean. “plaintiffs proposed amendment” -> text says “plaintiffs’ proposed amendment” (apostrophe is visible in screenshot). OCR missed it. “ac tion” -> “action“. Checking the word boundaries for `midpage-ps`. Page 414 ends with “condition allegedly“. Page 415 starts with “caused by the surgery.” So: `...condition allegedlyA cataract was removed from plaintiff Sol Langsam’s eye by defendant doctor Terraciano on January 18, 2001.

``` Wait, I should check if the Langsam citation is part of the case name or separate. It‘s usually part of the header block. I‘ll put it in `midpage-citation`. One more check on the court name: The citation is `AD2d` or `AD3d`. These are NY Appellate Division cases. The First Department is correct given the Bronx order and the judges. The `cite` attribute in ``: For NY official reports, I usually use `NY2d` or `AD2d`. The text has `91 NY2d 291`, `78 NY2d 255`, `271 AD2d 213`, `232 AD2d 617`. I‘ll use those. Wait, for the citation `802 NYS2d 449`: Should I normalize to `802 N.Y.S.2d 449`? Instructions: “Preserve formatting exactly (dates, case name capitalization)“. “Normalize (Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) -> Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e))” applies to `midpage-law`. For `midpage-case`, it doesn‘t explicitly say normalize but the examples show standard abbreviations. Actually, the examples show “262 F.3d 305“. I‘ll use `802 N.Y.S.2d 449` in the `cite` attribute if I was doing a cite-tag, but for the ``, I‘ll use what‘s in brackets. Is there any “Held:” section? No. Attorney listings? No. Amicus curiae? No. The text says “Concur—Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ.” This is the list of judges. I can put them in `midpage-judge`. “Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ.” Wait, the prompt says “Extract metadata here, don‘t repeat in body“. Does “body” include the “Concur” line? Usually, in these summaries, the judges are part of the opinion text. However, I can extract them to `midpage-judge`. Also, “Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Bertram Katz, J.)” Bertram Katz is the trial judge. I‘ll put the Appellate Division judges in `midpage-judge`. Final review of the Langsam text on page 415: “plaintiffs proposed amendment” -> `plaintiffs’ proposed amendment` (apostrophe present). “ac tion” -> `action`. “con-sent” -> `consent`. Ready.
