Matter of Spinale

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 23, 1988
140 A.D.2d 611 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

May 23, 1988

Appeal from the Surrogate's Court, Westchester County (Brewster, S.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs payable by the estate.

Because the petitioner failed to sustain her burden of showing that the court had jurisdiction over the nondomiciliary respondents, the petition was properly dismissed (see, Matter of Katz, 81 A.D.2d 145, affd 55 N.Y.2d 904). The record indicates that the respondents did not have the "minimum contacts" with New York necessary to subject them to the court's jurisdiction (see, International Shoe Co. v Washington, 326 U.S. 310).

We have examined petitioner's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Weinstein, J.P., Rubin, Spatt and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
