Summary

Editorial summary by Beynenson Law, not part of the court’s decision.

The provider's challenges to the insurer's summary judgment motion were unpreserved because they were raised for the first time on appeal. In this action for assigned first-party no-fault benefits, the Civil Court granted the insurer's motion dismissing the complaint and denied the provider's cross motion for summary judgment. The Appellate Term, Second Department, declined to consider all of the provider's arguments for denying the insurer's motion and affirmed the order.

2018-2043 K C

Island Life Chiropractic Pain Care, PLLC, as Assignee of Pollen, Faith, Appellant,
against
Nationwide Ins., Respondent.

The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell of counsel), for appellant. Hollander Legal Group , P.C. (Allan S. Hollander of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Robin Kelly Sheares, J.), entered July 20, 2018. The order granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and denied plaintiff’s cross motion for summary judgment.

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 of the Civil Court which granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and denied plaintiff’s cross motion for summary judgment.

All of plaintiff’s arguments as to why defendant’s motion for summary judgment should have been denied are not properly before this court, since they are being raised for the first time on appeal, and we decline to consider them (see Joe v Upper Room Ministries, Inc., 88 AD3d 963 [2011]; Gulf Ins. Co. v Kanen, 13 AD3d 579 [2004]).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

ALIOTTA, P.J., ELLIOT and SIEGAL, JJ., concur.
