February 1, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County, Rigler, J.
Present — Denman, J.P., Green, Balio, Davis and Lowery, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly granted plaintiff a judgment of divorce on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. Although the court should have stated "the facts it deems essential" (CPLR 4213 [b]), reversal is not required because the record on appeal is complete and permits this court to make the proper findings (see, Katzenstein v Katzenstein, 90 A.D.2d 533, 534; Schwartz v Schwartz, 52 A.D.2d 874; Keklak v Keklak, 49 A.D.2d 926). The testimony established that defendant physically and verbally abused and threatened plaintiff and that defendant was involved in an extramarital relationship during the marriage (see, Pfeil v Pfeil, 100 A.D.2d 725; Barry v Barry, 93 A.D.2d 797; McPherson v McPherson, 53 A.D.2d 791). Corroboration of plaintiff's testimony was not required (see, Borg v Borg, 107 A.D.2d 777, 778, lv denied 65 N.Y.2d 606; D'Amato v D'Amato, 96 A.D.2d 849).
