285 A.D.2d 465 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Submitted June 6, 2001.

July 2, 2001.

In an accounting proceeding, C. Robinson Associates, P.C., the attorney for the Executor of the Estate of Theresa Gaye, appeals from an order of the Surrogate's Court, Westchester County (Emanuelli, S.), dated June 26, 2000, which granted that branch of the objectant's motion which was to impose a monetary sanction upon it.

C. Robinson Associates, P.C., New York, N.Y. (Judith Speiser of counsel), nonparty-appellant pro se.

Werner Saffioti, LLP, Newburgh, N.Y. (Jeffrey Russell Werner of counsel), for respondent.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, LEO F. McGINITY, NANCY E. SMITH, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.


ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs payable by the appellant personally.

The Surrogate's Court providently exercised its discretion in imposing a monetary sanction upon the appellant (see, CPLR 3126; Kaufman v. Red Ground Corp., 170 A.D.2d 484). The appellant's remaining contention is without merit.

RITTER, J.P., ALTMAN, McGINITY, SMITH and COZIER, JJ., concur.
