OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs, and, on defendants’ stipulation, judgment granted in favor of plaintiff.
The burden of proving that a claim falls within the exclusions of an insurance policy rests with the insurer (see International Paper Co. v Continental Cas. Co., 35 NY2d 322, 327; Prashker v United States Guar. Co., 1 NY2d 584, 594). Accordingly, the trial court properly ordered a new trial after it recognized that it had erroneously charged the jury that the insured’s representative had the burden of proof as to the application of the exclusions.
Order affirmed, etc.
