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.
