Opinion
March 28, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Colby, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The appellant is not a covered person entitled to underinsured motorist benefits under her father's insurance policy. The policy provides such coverage only for a "family member", defined in the policy as "a person related to [the insured] by blood, marriage or adoption who is a resident of [the insured's] household".
Although the appellant stored some belongings in her father's house and would visit there approximately once a month, we conclude that she was not a resident of the household (see, Matter of Aetna Cas. Sur. Co. v. Gutstein, 80 N.Y.2d 773, revg 169 A.D.2d 718). Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Ritter, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
