ONE TO ONE REHAB PT, P.C., as Assignee of Saibou, Bolasi, Appellant, v. ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff moved for summary judgment. Defendant opposed the motion and cross-moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant did not provide insurance coverage for the vehicle in question on the date of the accident at issue. By order entered January 19, 2016, the Civil Court denied plaintiff's motion and granted defendant's cross motion.
In support of its cross motion and in opposition to plaintiff's motion, defendant submitted an affidavit by its employee who described the details of her search of defendant's records and stated that her search had revealed that there was no coverage by defendant for the vehicle in question on the date of the accident. We find that defendant's affidavit was sufficient to demonstrate, prima facie, that plaintiff's claims did not arise out of a covered incident (see Central Gen. Hosp. v. Chubb Group of Ins. Cos., 90 NY2d 195, 199 [1997] ). As plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact in opposition to defendant's cross motion, the Civil Court properly denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint (see Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 NY2d 557 [1980] ).
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
WESTON, J.P., ALIOTTA and ELLIOT, JJ., concur.
