Opinion
September 8, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Scholnick, J.).
Ordered that the orders are affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The court directed Donald F. L. to appear for a psychological evaluation by a court-appointed psychiatrist and for a deposition by the attorney for the respondent. Based upon Donald F. L.'s failure to comply with these directives, the denial of his motion to discharge his guardian was not an improvident exercise of discretion. Further, there is insufficient evidence to support a finding that Donald F. L. is able to provide for his personal needs or manage his affairs ( see, Mental Hygiene Law § 81.36; cf., Matter of O'Hear [Rodriguez], 219 A.D.2d 720).
