December 19, 2002.

Kevin K. Tung, for defendant-appellant.
Before: NARDELLI, J.P., TOM, ELLERIN, FRIEDMAN, MARLOW, JJ.
Plaintiff's testimony demonstrated frequent and persisting serious misconduct, including spreading false rumors of extramarital affairs, that affected plaintiff's physical and mental health, including loss of sleep and nervousness that caused him to lose his job, and was otherwise sufficient to warrant a finding of cruel and inhuman treatment, notwithstanding the lack of medical evidence (see Ridley v. Ridley, 275 A.D.2d 941; Miller v. Mei, 295 A.D.2d 144).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
