In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from so much of an order of the Civil Court (Ira R. Greenberg, J.) dated July 8, 2025 as granted the branch of defendant's motion seeking to vacate a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered September 7, 2023 pursuant to a default under a settlement (see CPLR 5003-a [e]).

For the reasons stated in Paramount Med. Group, P.C., as Assignee of Jainan Singh v Allstate Ins. Co.
