W.H.O. Acupuncture, P.C. as Assignee of CHARLES RODRIGUEZ, Appellant,

against

GEICO General Ins. Co., Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Terrence C. O'Connor, J.), entered October 25, 2010. The order, insofar as appealed from as limited by the brief, granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The appeal is deemed from a judgment of the same court entered December 15, 2011, pursuant to the order entered October 25, 2010, dismissing the complaint (see CPLR 5501 [c]).

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals, as limited by its brief, from so much of an order of the Civil Court as granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. A judgment was subsequently entered, from which the appeal is deemed to have been taken (see CPLR 5501 [c]).

Contrary to plaintiff's sole argument on appeal, the record does not demonstrate the existence of a triable issue of fact as to whether defendant denied any of the claims at issue. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.

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