PRESENT: : DAVID ELLIOT, J.P., MICHAEL L. PESCE, BERNICE D. SIEGAL, JJ
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court which denied his motion for summary judgment and granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that plaintiff's assignor had failed to appear for duly scheduled independent medical examinations.
Plaintiff's arguments regarding defendant's cross motion for summary judgment are not properly before this court as they are being raised for the first time on appeal, and we decline to consider them (see Joe v. Upper Room Ministries, Inc. , 88 AD3d 963 [2011] ; Gulf Ins. Co. v. Kanen , 13 AD3d 579 [2004] ; Mind & Body Acupuncture, P.C. v. Elrac, Inc. , 48 Misc 3d 139[A], 2015 NY Slip Op 51219[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2015] ). Consequently, plaintiff has demonstrated no basis to disturb the order which denied plaintiff's motion and granted defendant's cross motion.
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
ELLIOT, J.P., PESCE and SIEGAL, JJ., concur.
