2014-2629 K C

Renelique Medical Services, P.C., as Assignee of Jason Chadee, Appellant,

against

Travelers Insurance Co., Respondent.

Kopelevich & Feldsherova, P.C. (Galina Feldsherova, Esq.), for appellant. Law Offices of Aloy O. Ibuzor (Gregory W. Broido, Esq.), for respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Robin Kelly Shears, J.), entered October 3, 2014. 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, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court which granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Contrary to plaintiff's arguments on appeal, defendant established that plaintiff had failed to appear for properly scheduled examinations under oath (see Stephen Fogel Psychological, P.C. v Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 35 AD3d 720 [2006]) and that the claims had been timely denied on that ground (see Arco Med. NY, P.C. v Lancer Ins. Co., 34 Misc 3d 134[A], 2011 NY Slip Op 52382[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2011]).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

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