Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Monroe County, Calvaruso, J. — Matrimonial.
PRESENT: PIGOTT, JR., P. J., GREEN, HURLBUTT, SCUDDER AND BALIO, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in granting plaintiff a divorce on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment ( see, Domestic Relations Law § 170; Stricos v. Stricos, 263 A.D.2d 659, 661). The record supports the court's findings that defendant physically barred plaintiff from entering the parties' home; that there were arguments and threats throughout the two-year marriage; and that "[plaintiff] suffered harassment, embarrassment, stress [and] anxiety". "In view of the short duration of the marriage, the verbal abuse, both public and private, and [the] * * * harassment of the husband by the wife, cruel and inhuman treatment was proven" ( Soto v. Soto, 216 A.D.2d 455, 456; cf., Matthews v. Matthews, 238 A.D.2d 926, 926-927).
