Opinion

Alleviation Medical Services, P.C., as Assignee of LAKEYA LEE, Appellant,

against

ELRAC, Inc., Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Carmen R. Velasquez, J.), entered September 27, 2013. The order granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that it had timely and properly denied the claim at issue based upon plaintiff's assignor's failure to appear for duly scheduled independent medical examinations. By order entered September 27, 2013, the Civil Court granted defendant's motion.

Contrary to plaintiff's contention, the affidavit submitted by defendant in support of its motion was sufficient to demonstrate that the denial of claim form had been timely mailed (see St. Vincent's Hosp. of Richmond v Government Empls. Ins. Co., 50 AD3d 1123 [2008]). Plaintiff's remaining contention lacks merit.

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

Pesce, P.J., Aliotta and Solomon, JJ., concur.
