Matter of Hartford Insurance Company v. Nunez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 22, 1996
226 A.D.2d 639 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

April 22, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kassoff, J.).


Ordered that the order and judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the appellant's contention, the extensive testimony adduced by the petitioner established that exhaustive searches of the petitioner's files and records disclosed that no policy of insurance had ever been issued to the appellant. This evidence clearly sufficed to overcome the single document presented by the appellant as proof of coverage, and the appellant failed to come forward with any additional evidence that he had been insured by the petitioner. Accordingly, we discern no basis in the record for disturbing the Supreme Court's determination that no insurance coverage existed in this case ( see, Matter of American Tr. Ins. Co. [Glaude], 208 A.D.2d 376; Matter of Allstate Ins. Co. [Holmes], 173 A.D.2d 260; Matter of Nationwide Ins. Co. [Dye], 170 A.D.2d 683; Matter of Aetna Cas. Sur. Co. v. Dixon, 121 A.D.2d 256; Matter of State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v Yeglinski, 79 A.D.2d 1029). Sullivan, J.P., Pizzuto, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
