Opinion
April 29, 1996
Appeal from the Family Court, Suffolk County (Kent, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The record indicates that the Circuit Court of Pinellas County, Florida, had already determined that it had jurisdiction to decide the instant custody issue. Further, there was no evidence that the Florida court intended to relinquish its jurisdiction ( see, Domestic Relations Law § 75-g). Accordingly, the Family Court, Suffolk County, did not err by declining to exercise jurisdiction to determine the custody issue ( see, Vanneck v. Vanneck, 49 N.Y.2d 602, 610; see also, Marks v. Marks, 218 A.D.2d 642; Matter of Plum v. Plum, 216 A.D.2d 302).
The petitioners' remaining contentions are without merit. Santucci, J.P., Altman, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
