PRESENT: THOMAS P. ALIOTTA, P.J., MICHELLE WESTON, WAVNY TOUSSAINT, JJ.
ORDERED that the order is reversed, with $30 costs, and defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation (sued herein as MVAIC) appeals from an order of the Civil Court denying defendant's motion which had sought summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that plaintiff's assignor was not a "qualified" person.
For the reasons stated in BNE Clinton Med., P.C., as Assignee of Gregory Diaz v MVAIC (––– Misc 3d ––––, 2022 NY Slip Op –––– [appeal No. 2020-466 K C], decided herewith), the order is reversed and defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
ALIOTTA, P.J., WESTON and TOUSSAINT, JJ., concur.
