MATTER OF BARR


121 A.D.2d 324 (1986)

In the Matter of Jerome H. Barr et al., as Executors of Milton Kaufman, Deceased, Petitioners, for the Dissolution of Puccini Clothes, Ltd. Lee Feltman, Appellant-Respondent; George Sassower, Respondent-Appellant

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, First Department.

June 24, 1986


We agree with the Justice at Special Term that the report of the Referee should be confirmed. That report finds George Sassower guilty of 63 counts of criminal contempt in violating and continuing to violate an order of disqualification. However, in our opinion Special Term abused its discretion by its failure to impose a sanction in the light of the continuing contempts and respondent's stated intention to continue to do so.
