Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Howard H. Sherman, J.), entered on or about October 9, 2019, which denied petitioner Global Liberty Insurance Company's petition to vacate the award of a master arbitrator, dated November 8, 2017, granted the cross motion, and confirmed the award, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
The court properly confirmed the master arbitrator's award. The master arbitrator's affirmance of the lower arbitrator's award finding that petitioner failed to submit competent proof of the assignor's nonappearance at scheduled medical examinations was not irrational (see Matter of Petrofsky [Allstate Ins. Co.], 54 N.Y.2d 207, 211, 445 N.Y.S.2d 77, 429 N.E.2d 755 [1981] ), nor did it ignore controlling law (see Matter of Global Liberty Ins. Co. v. ISurply, LLC, 163 A.D.3d 418, 80 N.Y.S.3d 43 [1st Dept. 2018] ).
