Compas Medical, P.C., as Assignee of Grandoit, Andre, Appellant,

against

American Transit Ins. Co., Respondent.

The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell, Esq.), for appellant. Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum, P.C. (Jason Tenenbaum, Esq.), for respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (William A. Viscovich, J.), entered June 30, 2014. The order denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granted defendant's cross 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, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court which denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, and granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground, among others, that defendant had not received timely notice of the accident (see 11 NYCRR 65-1.1 [d]).

Contrary to plaintiff's argument on appeal, the proof submitted by defendant established that it had not received timely notice of the accident, which proof was not rebutted by plaintiff.

In view of the foregoing, plaintiff's remaining arguments are academic.

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

PESCE, P.J., ALIOTTA and SOLOMON, JJ., concur.
