TAM Medical Supply Corp., as Assignee of Jean, Chery, Respondent,

against

Omni Indemnity Company, Appellant.


Freiberg, Peck & Kang, LLP (Yilo J. Kang, Esq.), for appellant. The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell, Esq.), for respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Carol Ruth Feinman, J.), entered February 26, 2014. 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 sought summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant had not issued an insurance policy covering the vehicle which had been involved in the accident in question.

For the reasons stated in Tam Med. Supply Corp. v Omni Indem. Co. (48 Misc 3d 142[A], 2015 NY Slip Op 51294[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2015]), the order is reversed and defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.

PESCE, P.J., ALIOTTA and SOLOMON, JJ., concur.
