Opinion
April 17, 1978
In an action for divorce, defendant appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, entered December 5, 1977, as directed him to pay to plaintiff's attorney the sum of $10,000 as an additional counsel fee. Judgment modified, on the facts, by reducing the additional counsel fee award to $7,000. As so modified, judgment affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements. The additional counsel fee award was excessive to the extent indicated herein. Martuscello, J.P., Damiani, Shapiro and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
