Matter of Sullivan v. Sullivan

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Nov 16, 1982
444 N.E.2d 980 (N.Y. 1982)

Opinion

Decided November 16, 1982

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department, ALLAN DIXON, J.

Thomas J. O'Connor for appellant.

F. Richard Decatur, Jr., and Paul R. Engster for respondent.



On review of submissions pursuant to rule 500.2 (b) of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.2 [g]), order affirmed, with costs. The Appellate Division substituted its own exercise of discretion not to accept jurisdiction for the exercise of discretion by Family Court to accept such jurisdiction. Inasmuch as we conclude that there was no abuse of discretion or other error of law by the Appellate Division with respect to this latter disposition our review is at an end (see People ex rel. Gluch v Gluch, 56 N.Y.2d 619).

Concur: Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER.
