Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 1, 2000
272 A.D.2d 291 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

Submitted March 15, 2000.

May 1, 2000.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (DiBlasi, J.), entered April 13, 1999, which, upon an order of the same court, dated April 2, 1999, granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment, dismissed the complaint. The plaintiff's notice of appeal from the order is deemed to be a notice of appeal from the judgment (see, CPLR 5512[a]).

Harold, Salant, Strassfield Spielberg, White Plains, N Y (James G. Dibbini of counsel), for appellant.

Nesci Keane Piekarski Keogh Corrigan (Melito Adolfsen, P.C., New York, N.Y. [Ignatius John Melito and S. Dwight Stephens] of counsel), for respondent.

DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., THOMAS R. SULLIVAN, SONDRA MILLER, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

It is undisputed that the plaintiff was required to serve a notice of claim as a condition precedent to the present action (see, General Municipal Law § 50-e[b]; Coleman v. Westchester St. Transp. Co., 57 N.Y.2d 734; Singer v. Liberty Lines, 183 A.D.2d 820). We reject the plaintiff's contention that her no-fault application and various correspondence served upon the defendant's claim administrator constituted a sufficient notice of claim within the meaning of General Municipal Law § 50-e (see, Zydyk v. New York City Tr. Auth., 151 A.D.2d 745; cf., Losada v. Liberty Lines Tr., 155 A.D.2d 337; Tacinelli v. Liberty Lines, 123 A.D.2d 756).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.

RITTER, J.P., SULLIVAN, S. MILLER, LUCIANO and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
