Ins. Co., 41 Misc 3d 138[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 51916[U] [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2013]), by filing an affidavit or affirmation on that issue with the Clerk of this court on or before May 26, 2016; and it is further,
ORDERED that the Clerk of this court, or his designee, is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause on appellant and on respondent's attorney by regular mail; and it is further,
