Defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County
(Donald A. Miles, J.), entered June 30, 2010, which denied its motion for summary judgment
dismissing the complaint.
Per Curiam.
Order (Donald A. Miles, J.), entered June 30, 2010, affirmed, without costs.
Defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint was properly denied,
albeit for reasons other than those stated by Civil Court. In support of its contention that
plaintiff's assignor was not a "qualified" person entitled to payment of first-party no-fault benefits
by defendant (see Insurance Law § 5221[b]), defendant relied on inadmissible
hearsay — an uncertified computer printout of an "insurance activity expansion" (see
Progressive Classic Ins. Co. v Kitchen, 46 AD3d 333 [2007]). In any event, the expansion
does not establish that there was a policy of insurance in effect at the time of the accident (see
generally id.; cf. Matter of Commercial Union Ins. Co. (Kim), 268 AD2d 296 [2000],
lv denied 95 NY2d 762 [2000]). Defendant's submissions are also insufficient to
establish as a matter of law that plaintiff's assignor did not comply with the notice of claim
requirements (see Insurance Law § 5208).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
