Bruno, Gerbino, Soriano & Aitken, LLP (Nathan M. Shapiro, Esq.), for appellant-respondent. The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell, Esq.), for respondent-appellant.
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Cenceria P. Edwards, J.), entered March 13, 2018. The order, insofar as appealed from by defendant, denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The order, insofar as cross-appealed from by plaintiff, denied plaintiff's cross motion for summary judgment.
ORDERED that the cross appeal is dismissed as abandoned; and it is further,
ORDERED that the order, insofar as reviewed, is reversed, with $30 costs, and defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant appeals from so much of an order of the Civil Court as denied defendant's motion which had sought summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant had never received the claims at issue.
For the reasons stated in Wave Med. Servs., P.C., as Assignee of Marceus, Josue v Metlife Auto & Home (___ Misc 3d ___, 2020 NY Slip Op _____ [appeal No. 2018-1355 K C], decided herewith), the order, insofar as reviewed, is reversed and defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
ALIOTTA, P.J., ELLIOT and SIEGAL, JJ., concur.
