RICHARD DENISE M.D. P.C. as assignee of Irene Trapp, Plaintiff–Respondent, v. NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY, Defendant–Appellant.

Jones Jones LLC, New York (Agnes Neiger of counsel), for appellant. Israel, Israel & Purdy, LLP, Great Neck (Jennifer Greenhalgh Howard of counsel), for respondent.

Order of the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court, First Department, entered July 22, 2009, which reversed an order of the Civil Court, Bronx County (Francis M. Alessandro, J.), entered on or about May 7, 2007, granting defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint as time-barred, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, the motion granted, and the complaint dismissed. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.

Because defendant New York City Transit Authority's obligation to provide no-fault benefits arises out of the no-fault statute, the three-year statute of limitations as set forth in CPLR 214(2) bars plaintiff's claim ( see M.N. Dental Diagnostics, P.C. v. New York City Tr. Auth., 82 A.D.3d 409, 917 N.Y.S.2d 856 [2011] ).

*470We have reviewed plaintiff's contentions and find them unavailing.

MAZZARELLI, J.P., SAXE, DeGRASSE, RICHTER, ABDUS–SALAAM, JJ., concur.
