Opinion
No. 3830.
June 5, 2008.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Marylin G. Diamond, J.), entered April 25, 2007, awarding plaintiff legal fees and costs in the amount of $34,269.99, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
MW Moody LLC, New York (Mark Warren Moody of counsel), for appellants.
Gallet Dreyer Berkey, LLP, New York (Jerry A. Weiss of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Tom, J.P., Friedman, Nardelli, Buckley and Renwick, JJ.
The Special Referee considered the relevant factors in determining reasonable attorney fees ( see Matter of Freeman, 34 NY2d 1, 9), and his findings are supported by the record ( see Barrett v Toroyan, 45 AD3d 301). Time sheets of the nontestifying attorneys were properly admitted as business records; applicability of the hearsay exception was unchallenged. "Fees on fees" were properly awarded ( see Senfeld v I.S.T.A. Holding Co., 235 AD2d 345, lv dismissed 91 NY2d 956, lv denied 92 NY2d 818; cf. Sage Realty Corp. v Proskauer Rose, 288 AD2d 14).
We have considered defendants' other contentions and find them unavailing.
