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

Date published: Feb 10, 1998

247 A.D.2d 263 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

668 N.Y.S.2d 361

Opinion

February 10, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Diane Lebedeff, J.).

Appellant's challenge to the court's determination as to how the funds at issue should be distributed is barred by the doctrine of res judicata, having been considered and rejected in numerous prior related actions (see, e.g, Heath v. Warner Communications, 891 F. Supp. 167; New York State Crime Victims Bd. v. Abbott, 212 A.D.2d 22). In any event, appellant's claims are conclusory and unsubstantiated.

Concur — Rosenberger, J. P., Ellerin, Nardelli and Rubin, JJ.
