Alan D. Kucker, et al., appellants,

v Kaminsky & Rich, etc., et al., respondents,

et al., defendants.

(Index No. 21640/02)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeal by the plaintiffs from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated February 6, 2003, which was determined by decision and order of this court dated May 3, 2004. The decision and order of this court directed counsel for the parties to show cause before this court why an order should or should not be made and entered imposing such sanctions and/or costs, if any, against them pursuant to 22 NYCRR 130-1.1(c) as this court may deem appropriate.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that within 20 days after service of a copy of this decision and order on motion upon it, Kucker & Bruh, LLP, counsel for the appellants, shall pay a sanction in the sum of $1500 to the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.1[b]; 130-1.3); and it is further,

ORDERED that within 20 days after service of a copy of this decision and order on motion it, Kucker & Bruh, LLP, counsel for the appellants, shall pay to Kaminsky & Rich, counsel for the respondents, the sum of $3,500, representing the reasonable costs and attorneys' fees of the respondent in defending the appeal (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.1[b]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Westchster County, shall enter judgments accordingly (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.2); and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of this court, or his designee, shall serve a copy of this decision and order on motion upon counsel for the parties by regular mail; and it is further,

ORDERED that within 10 days after payment of the sanction, costs, and attorneys' fees, counsel for the appellants shall file proof of such payment with the Clerk of this court.

In the decision and order determining the appeals we stated that the appellants advanced arguments "that appear to be 'completely without merit in law or fact and cannot be supported by a reasonable argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law' and their conduct throughout this litigation appears to have been intended primarily to harass the defendants (22 NYCRR 130-1.1[c][1], [2])" (see Kucker v Kaminsky & Rich, AD3d [2d Dept., May 3, 2004]). In their papers in response to the order to show cause the appellants fail to provide any basis for this court to conclude that their actions in proceeding with the appeals were anything but frivolous. Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the decision and order dated May 3, 2004 (see Kucker v Kaminsky & Rich, id.), and upon the papers filed in response to the order to show cause, the impositition of a sanction, costs, and attorneys' fees in the amount set forth above is appropriate.
