Opinion
March 15, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Ralph Yachnin, J.).
A new hearing regarding defendant's request for a downward modification of his support payments and plaintiff's request to hold defendant in contempt was unnecessary in light of the trial court's prior hearing on the issues and the lack of new facts to warrant a new hearing. We also note that a finding of contempt was warranted since defendant failed fully to purge himself as provided for in the prior order.
