2007 N.Y. Slip Op. 52452 (N.Y. App. Term 2007)

Opinion

2006-1107 K C.

Decided on December 27, 2007.

Appeal from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Lila Gold, J.), entered March 23, 2006. The judgment denied the petition to vacate the master arbitrator's award and confirmed the award.

Judgment affirmed without costs.

PRESENT:: PESCE, P.J., GOLIA and RIOS, JJ.

Upon a review of the record, we find a rational basis for the determination of the master arbitrator upholding the arbitrator's award which denied petitioner's claim for first-party no-fault benefits ( see e.g. Matter of Petrofsky [Allstate Ins. Co.], 54 NY2d 207; Matter of Adams v Allstate Ins. Co., 210 AD2d 319; Matter of Shand [Aetna Ins. Co.], 74 AD2d 442). Accordingly, the court below properly denied the petition to vacate the master arbitrator's award and confirmed the award (CPLR 7511 [e]).

Pesce, P.J., Golia and Rios, JJ., concur.
