In an action, inter alia, to equitably distribute the parties' marital property, based on a judgment of divorce issued by the Superior Court of Arizona, County of Maricopa, dated May 27, 1992, the defendant appeals, as limited by her brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Lifson, J.), dated July 12, 1999, as denied that branch of her motion which was for judgment in her favor for certain medical expenses.
Herbert Rubenfeld, Melville, N.Y., for appellant.
Jeffrey S. Schecter Associates, P.C., Garden City, N.Y. (Bryce R. Levine of counsel), for respondent.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, HOWARD MILLER, WILLIAM F. MASTRO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Contrary to the appellant's contention, under the circumstances presented here, the Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in denying that branch of her motion which was for judgment in her favor for certain medical expenses (see Domestic Relations Law § 244).
The appellant's remaining contention is without merit.
SANTUCCI, J.P., SMITH, GOLDSTEIN, H. MILLER and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
