Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Genine D. Edwards, J.), entered June 27, 2014. The order, insofar as appealed from and as limited by the brief, upon granting the branch of defendant's motion seeking leave to renew its prior motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, which had been denied in an order of that court dated June 3, 2013, in effect, vacated the order dated June 3, 2013, and thereupon granted defendant's motion for summary judgment.
ORDERED that the order entered June 27, 2014, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed, with $25 costs.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant had not issued the insurance policy in question and, thus, that plaintiff had sued the wrong insurer. Plaintiff opposed the motion. In an order dated June 3, 2013, the Civil Court denied defendant's motion. Defendant subsequently moved for leave to renew its prior motion, contending that, after the Civil Court's order, there had been "a change in the law that would change the prior determination" (CPLR 2221 [e] [2]), referring to this court's decision in Great Health Care Chiropractic, P.C. v Omni Indem. Co. (40 Misc 3d 139[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 51450[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2013]). As limited by its brief, plaintiff appeals from [*2]so much of an order of the Civil Court entered June 27, 2014 as, upon renewal, in effect, vacated the order dated June 3, 2013, and thereupon granted defendant's motion for summary judgment.
For the reasons stated in Tam Med. Supply Corp. v Omni Indem. Co. (48 Misc 3d 142[A], 2015 NY Slip Op 51294[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2015]) and Great Health Care Chiropractic, P.C. v Omni Indem. Co. (40 Misc 3d 139[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 51450[U]), the order entered June 27, 2014, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed.
