ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs payable by the appellant personally.
The Surrogate's Court providently exercised its discretion in imposing a monetary sanction upon the appellant (see, CPLR 3126; Kaufman v. Red Ground Corp., 170 A.D.2d 484). The appellant's remaining contention is without merit.
RITTER, J.P., ALTMAN, McGINITY, SMITH and COZIER, JJ., concur.
