Opinion
December 19, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Brucia, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The record demonstrates that the plaintiff disobeyed court orders directing her to answer the defendant's interrogatories. Under the circumstances, the imposition of sanctions upon the plaintiff, in the form of attorney's fees, was proper (see, CPLR 3126; Minnick v Minnick, 109 A.D.2d 871; Gabrelian v Gabrelian, 108 A.D.2d 445, 448, appeal dismissed 66 N.Y.2d 741; 3A Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N Y Civ Prac ¶¶ 3126.06, 3126.14; Siegel, Practice Commentaries, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 7B, CPLR C3126:11, at 653-654). Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Kunzeman and Balletta, JJ., concur.
