Nova Chiropractic Servs., P.C. v. Ameriprise Auto & Home
Opinion
against
Ameriprise Auto & Home, Appellant.
Bruno, Gerbino & Soriano, LLP (Mitchell L. Kaufman, Esq.), for appellant. Law Offices of Emilia I. Rutigliano, P.C., for respondent (no brief filed).
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Robin Kelly Sheares, J.), dated January 13, 2015. The order granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and denied defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is reversed, with $30 costs, plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is denied and defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff moved for summary judgment, and defendant cross-moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that plaintiff had failed to appear for duly scheduled examinations under oath (EUOs). By order dated January 13, 2015, the Civil Court granted plaintiff's motion and denied defendant's cross motion.
The record establishes that defendant had timely mailed both the EUO scheduling letters and the denial of claim forms at issue (see St. Vincent's Hosp. of Richmond v Government Empls. Ins. Co., 50 AD3d 1123 [2008]; see also 11 NYCRR 65-3.8 [l]), and that plaintiff had failed to appear for the duly scheduled EUOs (see Stephen Fogel Psychological, P.C. v Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 35 AD3d 720 [2006]). Plaintiff failed to raise an issue of fact in opposition to defendant's cross motion.
Accordingly, the order is reversed, plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is denied and defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
PESCE, P.J., ALIOTTA and SOLOMON, JJ., concur.
