SUMMARY ORDER

ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-Counter-Defendant-Appellant Franco Apparel Group, Inc. ("Franco") appeals from a June 27, 2011 Opinion and Order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Sullivan, J.) granting Defendant-Counter-Claimant-Appellee National Liability & Fire Insurance Company's ("National") motion to dismiss the complaint as barred under the time-for-suit clause in the underlying insurance policy. We assume the parties' familiarity with the relevant facts, the procedural history, and the issues presented for review.

"We review a district court's dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c) de novo, employing the same standard applicable to dismissals pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6)." Johnson v. Rowley, 569 F.3d 40, 43 (2d Cir. 2009) (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted). Thus, we accept all factual allegations in the complaint as true and draw all reasonable inferences in plaintiff's favor. Id.

Having reviewed the record de novo, we affirm for substantially the reasons stated by the district court in its thorough and well-reasoned opinion. See Franco Apparel Grp., Inc. v. Nat'l Liab. & Fire Ins. Co., No. 10 Civ. 8205 (RJS), 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 72122 (S.D.N.Y. June 27, 2011). The insurance policy issued by National provided, in relevant part, that "[n]o suit or action for the recovery of any claim arising under this policy shall be maintainable in any Court unless such suit or action shall have been commenced within one year from the date of the happening of the loss out of which the said claim arose." J.A. 44 (emphasis added). Although the policy does not employ the "inception of the loss" term of art we recently endorsed in Fabozzi v. Lexington Insurance Co. as sufficient to tie a limitations period to the date of the accident or peril insured against, we find that the language here employed is "of equal precision." 601 F.3d 88, 91 (2d Cir. 2010). The provision unambiguously links the term "loss" to the date of actual damage. See, e.g., Karl v. Concordia Fire Ins. Co. of Milwaukee, 95 N.Y.S.2d 542, 543 (Sup. Ct. 1949) (interpreting the phrase "no action is maintainable unless the same be commenced twelve months next after the calendar date of the happening of the physical loss or damage out of which said claim arose" to refer to the date of the discovery of the loss), aff'd mem., 95 N.Y.S.2d 340 (N.Y. App. Div. 1950). Interpreting the provision to refer instead, as Franco contends, to National's formal declination of the claim "would strain the contract language beyond its reasonable and ordinary meaning." Fed. Ins. Co. v. Am. Home Assurance Co., 639 F.3d 557, 568 (2d Cir. 2011) (internal quotation marks omitted). Accordingly, the date of the relevant loss is the date of the actual damage, which in this case occurred no later than January 20, 2009. Because Plaintiff did not file suit until October 20, 2010, this action is time barred by the applicable limitations provision.

We have considered Franco's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. For the reasons stated herein, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
