Michael P. Lagnado, New York, for appellants.

Ken Maguire & Associates, PLLC, Wantagh (Katherine Maguire Tedrick of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (David Cohen, J.), entered November 4, 2020, after a jury trial, in favor of plaintiffs and against defendant on the insurance coverage claims, to the extent it brings up for review a ruling granting defendant's motion for a directed verdict dismissing the claim of bad faith denial of coverage, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The trial court correctly granted defendant's motion for a directed verdict dismissing the claim under Ohio law of bad faith denial of coverage (see generally Hoskins v Aetna Life Ins. Co., 6 Ohio St 3d 272, 452 NE2d 1315 [1983]). The evidence establishes that inaccurate information about the insured properties had been submitted to defendant prior to its issuance of the policies and that defendant had conducted a thorough investigation of the claims before concluding that the misrepresentations were material and denying coverage on that basis. There is no valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences that could have led a rational juror to conclude either that defendant's belief that there was no coverage was arbitrary or that defendant's conduct was not based on circumstances that furnished a reasonable justification for the denial (see id., 6 Ohio St 3d at 276-277, 452 NE2d at 1320). Concur—Kapnick, J.P., Webber, Friedman, Kennedy, Mendez, JJ.
