Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York August 2, 2017, 2016-02928 (State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Austin Diagnostic Medical, P.C.)

In an action for a judgment declaring that the plaintiff is not obligated to pay certain no-fault insurance benefits, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dufficy, J.), entered February 29, 2016, which denied its motion to extend its time to answer, or in the alternative, to compel the plaintiff to accept the untimely answer.
