Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

261 A.D.2d 603 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

688 N.Y.S.2d 914

Opinion

May 24, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Durante, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

We find no merit to the appellant's challenge to the Supreme Court's apportionment of legal fees in this case ( see, Lanfranchi v. Polatsch, 246 A.D.2d 513; Melvin v. City of New York, 244 A.D.2d 390; Williams v. LaSala, 232 A.D.2d 552). This is particularly so since the appellant received a percentage of the fees awarded to the nonparty respondent Edward S. Minzner Associates, PLLC, as well as to the nonparty respondent Edward S. Minzner individually.

The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.

Sullivan, J. P., Krausman, Florio and Smith, JJ., concur.
