Headnote

The relevant facts the court considered in this case were that TAM Medical Supply Corp. was seeking to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits and the Civil Court denied the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment while granting the defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The main issues decided were whether the provider could recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits and whether the defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint should be granted or denied. The holding of the case was that defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is denied, and the order is affirmed, without costs.
