Goldstein v. Goldstein

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 30, 1998
251 A.D.2d 272 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

June 30, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (David Saxe, J.).


Given the history of adjournments by plaintiff in this matrimonial action and the fact that the date of the hearing upon defendant's entitlement to counsel fees had been repeatedly marked "final", the court properly exercised its discretion in denying plaintiff's request for a ninth adjournment predicated on an unsworn letter and in subsequently denying plaintiff's motion to reopen the hearing ( Treppeda v. Treppeda, 212 A.D.2d 592; Matter of Bevona [Alma Realty], 201 A.D.2d 309). Plaintiff's argument disputing the award of counsel fees to defendant on the merits is not supported by the record. We have reviewed plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Ellerin, J. P., Williams, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
