Michael PALMERI, M.D., PLLC as Assignee of Wilda Mayard, Respondent, v. ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellant.
Opinion
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Richard G. Latin, J.), entered September 17, 2013. The order denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court which denied, as untimely, defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Defendant failed to make its motion within 60 days of the filing of the notice of trial, as required by the rules of Part 41 of the Civil Court, and failed to offer any explanation in the Civil Court for the untimeliness of its motion. Accordingly, the Civil Court properly denied defendant's motion as untimely (see CPLR 3212[a]; Miceli v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 3 NY3d 725 2004; Brill v. City of New York, 2 NY3d 648 2004; Goldin v. New York & Presbyt. Hosp., 112 AD3d 578 2013; Tong Li v. Citiwide Auto Leasing, Inc., 43 Misc.3d 128[A], 2014 N.Y. Slip Op 50481[U] [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2014]; Exceptional Med. Care, P.C. v. Fiduciary Ins. Co., 43 Misc.3d 75 [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2014] ).
We note that we do not consider arguments or factual assertions raised for the first time on appeal (see Chimarios v. Duhl, 152 A.D.2d 508 1989 ).
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
