IN THE MATTER OF NEW YORK CENTRAL MUTUAL, appellant, v. JACQUES CORIOLAN, respondent; SHERRIET T. HOLLAND, ET AL., proposed additional respondents.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The petitioner's insured served a demand for arbitration of an uninsured motorist claim. The petitioner subsequently commenced this proceeding to stay arbitration and made a prima facie showing that the offending vehicle was insured by Pacific Employer's Insurance Company (hereinafter Pacific). However, the prima facie showing of coverage was rebutted by the testimony of Pacific's claims representative, as corroborated by documentary evidence, that several searches of the company's records were conducted and no policy could be located. Since the petitioner did not present further evidence of coverage to overcome the rebuttal of its prima facie case, the Supreme Court properly denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding ( see Matter of American Tr. Ins. Co., 208 A.D.2d 376, 377; Matter of Allstate Ins. Co. v. Karadag, 205 A.D.2d 531, 532).

ALTMAN, J.P., SMITH, H. MILLER and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
