JCC MEDICAL v. OMNI INDEMNITY COMPANY (2021)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York,

JCC MEDICAL, P.C., as Assignee of Miracle, Farah, Respondent, v. OMNI INDEMNITY COMPANY, Appellant.

2018-1445 K C

Decided: December 17, 2021

PRESENT: THOMAS P. ALIOTTA, P.J., DAVID ELLIOT, DONNA-MARIE E. GOLIA, JJ.

Freiberg, Peck & Kang, LLP (Yilo J. Kang of counsel), for appellant. The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell of counsel), for respondent (no brief filed).

ORDERED that, on the court's own motion, the notice of appeal from an order entered March 20, 2018 is deemed a premature notice of appeal from the amended order dated June 26, 2018 (see CPLR 5520 [c]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the amended order dated June 26, 2018, insofar as appealed from, 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 so much of an order of the Civil Court as denied defendant's motion which had sought summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant had not issued an insurance policy covering the vehicle which was involved in the accident in question and that, therefore, plaintiff had sued the wrong party.

For the reasons stated in Island Life Chiropractic Pain Care, PLLC v Omni Indem. Co. (63 Misc 3d 127[A], 2019 NY Slip Op 50342[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2019]), the amended order, insofar as appealed from, is reversed and defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.

ALIOTTA, P.J., ELLIOT and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
