2019-336 K C
against
Nationwide Ins., Appellant.
Hollander Legal Group, P.C. (Allan S. Hollander of counsel), for appellant. The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin Toell of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Richard J. Montelione, J.), entered October 22, 2018. The order denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is reversed, with $30 costs, and defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court denying defendant’s motion which had sought summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that plaintiff’s assignor had failed to appear for duly scheduled examinations under oath.
For the reasons stated in Longevity Med. Supply, Inc. v Nationwide Ins. (69 Misc 3d 129[A], 2020 NY Slip Op 51133[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2020]), the order is reversed and defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
ALIOTTA, P.J., TOUSSAINT and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
