VG ACUPUNCTURE, P.C. as Assignee of Daniel Robinson, Appellant, v. INTERBORO INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent.

Plaintiff's moving papers failed to establish either that defendant failed to pay or deny the claim within the requisite 30–day period ( see Viviane Etienne Med. Care, P.C. v. Country–Wide Ins. Co., ––– AD3d ––––, 2013 N.Y. Slip Op 08430 [2d Dept 2013] ), or that defendant issued a timely denial of claim that was conclusory, vague or without merit as a matter of law ( seeInsurance Law § 5106[a]; Westchester Med. Ctr. v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 78 AD3d 1168 [2010] ). As a result, the order is affirmed.
