Second, Eleventh and Thirteenth JudicIal Districts Cases Released on:  October 30, 2019

By: Pesce, P.J., Aliotta, Siegal, JJ. Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum, P.C. (Jason Tenenbaum of counsel), for appellant. Law Office of John Gallagher, PLLC, for respondent (no brief filed). 2017-1946 K C. LIDAS MED. SUPPLY, INC. v. GLOBAL LIBERTY INS. — Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Andrew Borrok, J.), entered July 5, 2017. The order granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. ORDERED that the order is reversed, with $30 costs, and plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is denied. In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court which granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment should have been denied, as the proof submitted by plaintiff failed to establish that the claim had not been timely denied (see Viviane Etienne Med. Care, P.C. v. Country-Wide Ins. Co., 25 NY3d 498 [2015]), or that defendant had issued a timely denial of claim form that was conclusory, vague or without merit as a matter of law (see Westchester Med. Ctr. v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 78 AD3d 1168 [2010]; Ave T MPC Corp. v. Auto One Ins. Co., 32 Misc 3d 128[A], 2011 NY Slip Op 51292[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2011]). In light of the foregoing, we reach no other issue. Accordingly, the order is reversed and plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is denied. PESCE, P.J., ALIOTTA and SIEGAL, JJ., concur. October 25, 2019
