In the Matter of PROGRESSIVE NORTHEASTERN INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent, v. WASEEM SHEIKH et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

In reviewing a trial court's findings of fact following a nonjury trial, this Court's authority "is as broad as that of the trial court" and includes the power to "render the judgment it finds warranted by the facts, taking into account in a close case the fact that the trial judge had the advantage of seeing the witnesses" ( Northern Westchester Professional Park Assoc., v Town of Bedford, 60 NY2d 492, 499 [internal quotation marks omitted]; see Hall v Sinclaire, 35 AD3d 660; Matter of Fasano v State of New York, 113 AD2d 885, 888). We decline to disturb the Supreme Court's determination ( see Letterese v State of New York, 33 AD3d 593; Matter of Fasano v State of New York, supra).

The appellants' remaining contentions are without merit.
