DECISION + ORDER ON MOTION Plaintiff State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company moves, pursuant to CPLR 3215, for a default judgment against defendants Bronx Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy, LLC, BSS Metropolitan Medical Diagnostic, P.C., Diversified Orthotics, Inc., MZY Acupuncture, P.C., New York Spine & Sport Rehabilitation Medicine, P.C., Throgs Neck Medical Services, P.C., Throgs Neck Multicare, P.C., Louis Rose, M.D. (Rose), and Habib M.
