SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPELLATE TERM: 2nd, 11th and 13th JUDICIAL DISTRICTS
PRESENT: : PESCE, P.J., WESTON and RIOS, JJ
2010-1069 K C.
against
Clarendon National Ins. Co., Respondent.
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Peter Paul Sweeney, J.), entered November 5, 2009. The order granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without 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. Contrary to plaintiff’s sole contention on appeal, defendant’s peer review report was sufficient to establish defendant’s entitlement to summary judgment on the ground of lack of medical necessity (see Urban Radiology, P.C. v Tri-State Consumer Ins. Co., 27 Misc 3d 140[A], 2010 NY Slip Op 50987[U] [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2010]).
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
Pesce, P.J., Weston and Rios, JJ., concur.
