<br><br><div align="center"><b><font size="+1">J.O.V. Acupuncture, P.C., a/a/o Candida Espaillat, Plaintiff-Respondent,  

<br><br>against<br><br>Amex Assurance Company, Defendant-Appellant.</font></b></div><br><br>

<p>Defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Debra Rose Samuels, J.), entered February 26, 2015, which denied its motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.</p>

<p>Per Curiam. </p>

<p>Order (Debra Rose Samuels, J.), entered February 26, 2015, affirmed, with $10 costs.</p>

<p>This action, seeking recovery of first-party no-fault benefits, is not ripe for summary dismissal, since defendant-insurer failed to establish the proper and timely mailing of the denial of claim form at issue (<a href="../2005/2005_02235.htm" target="_blank"><i>see Nyack Hosp. v Metropolitan Prop. &amp; Cas.
