NYU-Hospital for Joint Diseases as Assignee of DERLY MARTE, Appellant,

against

American Transit Insurance Company, Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the District Court of Nassau County, First District (Bonnie P. Chaikin, J.), dated October 6, 2010. The order denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, the District Court properly denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on the ground that plaintiff had not demonstrated its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law (see New York Hosp. Med. Ctr. of Queens v Statewide Ins. Co., 33 Misc 3d 130[A], 2011 NY Slip Op 51863[U] [App Term, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2011]).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

Molia, J.P., Nicolai and Iannacci, JJ., concur. [*2]
