Freiberg, Peck & Kang, LLP (Yilo J. Kang of counsel), for appellant.
The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell of counsel), for respondent.
PRESENT: MICHAEL L. PESCE, P.J., THOMAS P. ALIOTTA, BERNICE D. SIEGAL, JJ
ORDERED that the order, insofar as appealed from, 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 appeals from so much of an order of the Civil Court as denied defendant's motion which had sought summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant had not issued an insurance policy covering the vehicle which was involved in the accident in question and that, therefore, plaintiff had sued the wrong party.
For the reasons stated in Island Life Chiropractic Pain Care, PLLC, as Assignee of Dorleans, Darlene v. Omni Indem. Co. (––– Misc 3d ––––, 2019 NY Slip Op –––– [appeal No. 2017-526 K C], decided herewith), the order, insofar as appealed from, is reversed and defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
PESCE, P.J., ALIOTTA and SIEGAL, JJ., concur.
