The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell and Richard Rozhik of counsel), for appellant. Rivkin Radler, LLP (Stuart M. Bodoff of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Gina Levy-Abadi, J.), dated June 9, 2021. The order granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and denied, as academic, plaintiff's motion to compel discovery and dismiss defendant's affirmative defenses.

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 of the Civil Court granting defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that plaintiff failed to provide requested verification, and denying, as academic, plaintiff's motion which had sought to compel discovery and dismiss defendant's affirmative defenses.

Contrary to plaintiff's contention on appeal, the affidavit by plaintiff's owner in opposition to defendant's cross motion for summary judgment was insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact. While defendant's claims specialist stated that defendant had not received any of the documents that defendant's verification requests sought to obtain, plaintiff's owner merely stated that he had mailed the requested verification "to the extent such response was proper and in [his] possession." Thus, [*2]plaintiff failed to demonstrate that it had provided the requested verification or had set forth a reasonable justification for the failure to comply with defendant's verification requests (see 11 NYCRR 65-3.8 [b] [3]). Consequently, we find no basis to disturb the order (see CPM Med Supply, Inc. v State Farm Fire & Cas. Ins. Co., 63 Misc 3d 140[A], 2019 NY Slip Op 50576[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2019]).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
