    Milagros Layz, Individually and as Administratrix of Jose J. Correa, Deceased, Respondent, v City of New York et al., Appellants.
    [613 NYS2d 908]
   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Stanley Sklar, J.), entered on or about May 13, 1993, which granted plaintiffs’ motion to amend the complaint to add a cause of action for wrongful death, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

We agree with the IAS Court that the motion papers, which included, inter alia, an affirmation by an obstetrician-gynecologist that various acts and omissions of defendants at the time of decedent’s birth constituted malpractice, and were a proximate cause of plaintiff’s decedent’s brain damage and eventual death, constituted a sufficient evidentiary showing to support the added cause of action for wrongful death (see, CPLR 3025 [b]; cf., McGuire v Small, 129 AD2d 429).
