Opinion
February 25, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Durante, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Under the circumstances of this case, the imposition of a monetary sanction was appropriate (see, Roeder v Allstate Ins. Co., 115 A.D.2d 469; Arndt v Merrick Shopping Center, 103 A.D.2d 788). Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Eiber, Rosenblatt and Ritter, JJ., concur.
