Opinion
No. 501599.
April 30, 2009.
Appeals from two orders of the Family Court of Schenectady County (Powers, J.), entered September 14, 2006, which, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct Act article 4, among other things, revoked respondent's suspended sentence of incarceration.
Marcel J. Lajoy, Albany, for appellant.
Before: Mercure, J.P., Spain, Kavanagh and Stein, JJ.
On March 1, 2006, a Support Magistrate found that respondent willfully failed to obey an order of child support and calculated arrears. Respondent did not file any objections to the Support Magistrate's order ( see Family Ct Act § 439 [e]). Thereafter, Family Court (Assini, J.) confirmed the finding of a willful violation and issued a May 1, 2006 order sentencing him to 90 days in jail, which was suspended on the condition that he pay as ordered. Respondent did not appeal from this order.
Following respondent's failure to comply with the May 1, 2006 order, petitioner brought an application to revoke the suspended sentence. The application included a request for counsel fees. Following a hearing, Family Court (Powers, J.) revoked the suspended sentence and committed respondent to 90 days in jail, but gave him an additional opportunity to purge his willful violation by paying approximately $4,300. The court also awarded counsel fees and ordered the payment of additional arrears. Two orders were thereafter entered on September 14, 2006, namely, an order directing the payment of arrears and an order of commitment. Respondent appeals from both orders.
The sole allegations of error and impropriety raised on appeal relate to the Support Magistrate's March 1, 2006 order, to which no objections were filed, and the May 1, 2006 confirmation order, from which no appeal was taken. All arguments and alleged improprieties stemming from these orders are not properly before this Court ( see Matter of Regan v Zalucky, 56 AD3d 825, 826-827; Matter of St. Lawrence County Dept. of Social Servs. v Pratt, 24 AD3d 1050, lv denied 6 NY3d 713; Matter of Sales v Brozzo, 3 AD3d 807, 807-808, lv denied 2 NY3d 706; Matter of Dauria v Dauria, 286 AD2d 879, 880). There being no other issue raised with respect to either order entered on September 14, 2006, we affirm.
Ordered that the orders are affirmed, without costs.
