PRESENT:: THOMAS P. ALIOTTA, P.J., WAVNY TOUSSAINT, DONNA-MARIE E. GOLIA, JJ
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Robin Kelly Sheares, J.), entered September 26, 2019. The order denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from an order denying plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granting defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Contrary to plaintiff's sole contention on appeal with respect to defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, the affirmations submitted by defendant's counsel, as well as the transcripts of the examinations under oath (EUOs), were sufficient to establish that plaintiff had failed to appear for the EUOs (see Pavlova v Nationwide Ins., 70 Misc.3d 144 [A], 2021 NY Slip Op 50213[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2021]).
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
ALIOTTA, P.J., TOUSSAINT and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
