PRESENT:: THOMAS P. ALIOTTA, P.J., MICHELLE WESTON, CHEREÉ A. BUGGS, JJ
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Rosemarie Montalbano, J.), entered September 18, 2019. The order granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.
In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from an order granting defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that plaintiff failed to appear for duly scheduled examinations under oath (EUOs).
Contrary to plaintiff's sole argument on appeal, the proof submitted by defendant was sufficient to establish plaintiff's failure to appear for the EUOs (see Stephen Fogel Psychological, P.C. v. Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 35 A.D.3d 720 [2006]; Parisien v Ameriprise Auto & Home, 75 Misc.3d 138 [A], 2022 NY Slip Op 50581[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2022]; Sanford Chiropractic, P.C. v State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 75 Misc.3d 138 [A], 2022 NY Slip Op 50576[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2022]; Gentlecare Ambulatory Anesthesia Servs. v Geico Ins. Co., 57 Misc.3d 150 [A], 2017 NY Slip Op 51518[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2017]).
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
