MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

SPATT, District Judge.

This medical malpractice action, filed in the United States District Court on the basis of diversity of citizenship, raises the issue of whether the plaintiff is bound by a New York State law, enacted in 1976 in response to the perceived crisis in the insurance industry, which precludes pleading a specific monetary amount of damages in a complaint in a medical malpractice action.
