DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's motion for an extension of time in which to file what was, in effect, an amended Qualified Domestic Relations Order ( see, Donnellan v. Donnellan, 230 A.D.2d 819). There is no merit to the defendant's objections to the original Qualified Domestic Relations Order which had been filed by the plaintiff.
