242 A.D.2d 247 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

662 N.Y.S.2d 29

Opinion

August 28, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Edward Lehner, J.)

The Special Referee's findings, including those concerning the value of the parties' respective contributions in satisfying partnership liabilities after dissolution, are substantially supported by the record and should not be disturbed (see, Barr v Barr, 232 A.D.2d 316). The sanctions imposed on defendant, an attorney, for signing her attorney's name on two affirmations, and on defendant's attorney for permitting this violation of CPLR 2106, are appropriate. We have considered defendant's other arguments and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Ellerin, J.P., Wallach, Nardelli, Rubin and Mazzarelli, JJ.
