Opinion
February 24, 1992
Appeal from the Family Court, Suffolk County (Snellenburg, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, without costs or disbursements, and that branch of the motion which was to hold the appellant in contempt is denied in its entirety.
Because of the respondent's failure to set forth on the "face" of the contempt motion the notice and warning required by Judiciary Law § 756, the Family Court was without jurisdiction to punish the mother for contempt for her noncompliance with the visitation order (see, Murrin v. Murrin, 93 A.D.2d 858; Stevens Plumbing Supply Co. v. Bi-County Plumbing Heating Co., 94 Misc.2d 456; see generally, Bank Leumi Trust Co. v. Taylor-Cishahayo, 147 Misc.2d 685). Bracken, J.P., O'Brien, Ritter and Copertino, JJ., concur.
