In an action for a separation or divorce, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dorsa, J.), dated September 14, 2000, which denied her motion to hold the defendant and certain nonparties in contempt and for an award of an attorney's fee.

Esther York, Holliswood, N.Y., appellant pro se.

Snitow Kanfer Holtzer Millus, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Franklyn H. Snitow and Judy H. Kim of counsel), for respondent.

Before: A. GAIL PRUDENTI, P.J., MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, SONDRA MILLER, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.


ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the plaintiff's motion to hold the defendant and certain nonparties in contempt. Furthermore, the Supreme Court properly declined to award the plaintiff an attorney's fee (see Cowles v. Stahmer, 255 A.D.2d 103, 105).

PRUDENTI, P.J., ALTMAN, S. MILLER and COZIER, JJ., concur.
