[*1]
 SIBA Contracting Corp., Appellant,
v
Stantec Inc., Also Known as Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., Respondent, et al., Defendant.

Morrison Law Offices of Westchester, P.C., New York (Arthur Morrison of counsel), for appellant.

Milber Makris Plousadis & Seiden, LLP, Woodbury (Lorin A. Donnelly of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Manuel J. Mendez, J.), entered October 18, 2016, which granted defendant Stantec Inc.'s motion to dismiss the complaint as against it, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

The motion court correctly determined that plaintiff assigned its claims to defendant Westchester Fire Insurance Company under the parties' indemnification agreement, and accordingly has no standing to bring this action against Stantec (James McKinney & Son v Lake Placid 1980 Olympic Games, 61 NY2d 836, 838 [1984]).

We have considered plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them unavailing. Concur—Friedman, J.P., Sweeny, Kahn, Gesmer, Singh, JJ.
