Art of Healing Medicine, P.C. v. Utica Mut. Ins. Co.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Cheree A. Buggs, J.), entered January 7, 2014. The order, insofar as appealed from, granted the branches of defendant's motion seeking summary judgment dismissing the first through fourth and seventh through ninth causes of action.

ORDERED that the order, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from so much of an order of the Civil Court as granted the branches of defendant's motion seeking summary judgment dismissing the first through fourth and seventh through ninth causes of action on the ground that plaintiff's assignor had failed to appear for duly scheduled examinations under oath.

For the reasons stated in Art of Healing Medicine, P.C., as Assignee of Owen Minns v Utica Mut. Ins. Co. (___ Misc 3d ___, 2016 NY Slip Op ____ [appeal No. 2013-2716 Q C], decided herewith), the order, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed.

Pesce, P.J., Aliotta and Solomon, JJ., concur.
