DECISION

On the court's own motion, an order for summary reversal is granted and this matter remanded to the court below for a new trial.

Following a reconstruction hearing, Civil Court, Queens County (Gilbert Badillo, J.) has determined that the missing portions of the trial testimony cannot be reconstructed, thus, a new trial is necessary (see Davis Bros. Eng'g Corp. v Ferraro, 297 AD2d 275 [2002]).
