Plaintiffs MSJ must say not denied within 30 days
In a recent case decided in Kings County, Judge Bluth held that plaintiff was not entitled to summary judgment as there was no averment in a supportive affidavit or similar paper that they claims were not denied within 30 days. In New York Craniofacial Care, P.C. v Allstate Ins. Co., plaintiff provided proof that the bill had not been paid and supportive affidavits included language to that end. They did not, however, include any mention that the claims were not denied within 30 days.

The problem with plaintiff's counsel's approach is that it invites providers to bring disingenuous summary judgment motions alleging that their claims are overdue even when they are well aware that they received valid, timely denials.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read the above. Are these "judges" that clueless that they don't realize that has been the game for some time now?
