16-202. VS CARE ACUPUNCTURE, PC, A/A/O DALAYSHIA CARR, plf-res, v. MVAIC, def-app — Order (Debra Rose Samuels, J.), entered October 28, 2015, affirmed, with $10 costs.

We sustain the denial of defendant MVAIC’s motion for summary judgment dismissing this first-party no-fault action, albeit for reasons other than those stated by Civil Court. Our review of the record indicates that defendant failed to eliminate all triable issues with respect to whether plaintiff’s assignor filed a notice of intention to make a claim, since its own proof contains conflicting evidence (see Center Candy, Inc. v. CJB Food Mart, Inc., 50 AD3d 723 [2008]), specifically, a letter it sent to the assignor stating “we are in receipt of the Notice of Intention to Make Claim” (see generally Winegrad v. New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853 [1985]; Dover Acupuncture, P.C. v. Motor Veh. Acc. Indem. Corp., 36 Misc 3d 145[A], 2012 NY Slip Op 51619[U])[App Term, 1st Dept. 2012]). Given defendant’s failure to make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, denial of its motion was required regardless of the sufficiency of plaintiff’s opposition papers (Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324 [1986]).
