| Decision Date | 15 November 1991 |
| Citation | 577 N.Y.S.2d 988,177 A.D.2d 947 |
| Parties | Walter A. GALASKA and Edith A. Galaska, Appellants, v. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Di Caprio & Di Caprio by Anthony Di Caprio, Syracuse, for appellants.
MacKenzie Smith Lewis Michell & Hughes by Nancy Pontius, Syracuse, for respondent.
Before CALLAHAN, Acting P.J., and DENMAN, GREEN, BALIO and DAVIS, JJ.
Plaintiffs fail to allege that they did not agree to arbitrate. Rather, plaintiffs seek to avoid the clear and explicit arbitration provisions contained in the policy, issued by defendant, on the ground that the policy was never delivered to them. That argument is devoid of merit because plaintiffs' entire claim is premised on the existence of that policy (see, CPLR 7503[a]; see also, Bohlen Indus. of North America, Inc. v. Flint Oil & Gas, Inc., 106 A.D.2d 909, 910, 483 N.Y.S.2d 529).
Order unanimously affirmed without costs.
