By order entered September 16, 2013, the Civil Court denied plaintiff's motion and granted defendant's cross motion.
For the reasons stated in Omphil Care, Inc., as Assignee of Paul Fabiola v. Allstate Ins. Co. (––– Misc.3d ––––, 2016 N.Y. Slip Op ______ [appeal No.2013–2290 Q C], decided herewith), the order is modified by providing that defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is denied.
