MOTION DECISION
Freiberg, Peck & Kang, LLP (Yilo J. Kang of counsel), for appellant.
The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell of counsel), for respondent.
PRESENT:: THOMAS P. ALIOTTA, P.J., DAVID ELLIOT, DONNA-MARIE E. GOLIA, JJ
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Lorna J. McAllister, J.), entered September 18, 2018. The order denied a motion by defendant American Independent Ins. Co. which sought to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against it.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, the Civil Court denied a motion by defendant American Independent Ins. Co., Inc. (AIIC) which had sought to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against it on the ground that plaintiff had failed to obtain personal jurisdiction over it. Plaintiff cross-moved, among other things, for "an order pursuant to... CPLR 3212 (a) denying [AIIC's] Motion for Summary Judgment." By order entered September 18, 2018, the Civil Court denied AIIC's motion and plaintiff's cross motion. Defendant Omni Indemnity Company appeals from each and every part of the order.
Defendant Omni Indemnity Company is not aggrieved by so much of the order as denied the motion by AIIC which sought to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against it (see CPLR 5511; Rinaldi v Evenflo Co., Inc., 62 A.D.3d 856 [2009]). Nor is defendant Omni Indemnity Company aggrieved by so much of the order as denied the cross motion by plaintiff and held that a triable issue of fact existed as to whether AIIC did business in the State of New York (see CPLR 5511).
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
ALIOTTA, P.J., ELLIOT and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
