Index No. 30920/17E Appeal No. 13630 Case No. 2019-04393
v
Cambridge Medical, P.C., as Assignee of Denis Robenson, Respondent-Respondent.
The Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum, P.C., Garden City (Jason Tenenbaum of counsel), for appellant.
Sanders Barshay Grossman, PLLC, Garden City (Steven J. Neuwirth of counsel), for respondent.
Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Howard H. Sherman, J.), entered on or about October 9, 2019, which denied petitioner Global Liberty Insurance Company's petition to vacate the award of a master arbitrator, dated November 8, 2017, granted the cross motion, and confirmed the award, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
The court properly confirmed the master arbitrator's award. The master arbitrator's affirmance of the lower arbitrator's award finding that petitioner failed to submit competent proof of the assignor's nonappearance at scheduled medical examinations was not irrational (see Matter of Petrofsky [Allstate Ins. Co.], 54 NY2d
207, 211 [1981]), nor did it ignore controlling law (see Matter of Global Liberty Ins. Co. v ISurply, LLC, 163 AD3d 418 [1st Dept 2018]). THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
