In an action to recover damages, inter alia, for wrongful death, Belair Evans LLP appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (J. Leone, J.), dated February 8, 2000, as granted that branch of the cross motion of the defendant Jeffrey Kalman which was to impose a sanction upon it for frivolous conduct.
Belair Evans LLP, New York, N.Y. (James B. Reich of counsel), nonparty-appellant pro se.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court providently concluded that the appellant's conduct was frivolous within the meaning of 22 NYCRR 130-1.1. and imposed a sanction upon it (see, Hampton v. Hampton, 261 A.D.2d 362).
SANTUCCI, J.P., KRAUSMAN, LUCIANO and FEUERSTEIN, JJ., concur.
