Marigliano v New York Mut. Fire Ins. Co. (2009 NY Slip Op 50137(U))

Headnote

The court considered the appeal from a denial of a motion to "revise" the award of attorney's fees in a first party no-fault benefits action brought by Adam Marigliano, LMT, a/a/o Santos Climaco, Jose Contreras Rutreyes, Visitacion Corado, Jorge Acosta, Jessica Acosta, Horacio Velasquez, Ana Corado, and Maria Guzman against New York Mutual Fire Insurance Co. The main issue decided was whether the denial of the motion to "revise" the award of attorney's fees was proper. The holding of the court was to affirm the order denying the motion, citing the reasons given by Shlomo S. Hagler, J., at Civil Court and referencing a similar case, LMK Psychological Servs., P.C. v State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 46 AD3d 1290, 1292 [2007], lv granted 10 NY3d 717 [2008].
