MATTER OF SANDERS v. MFR. HANOVER TRUST CO

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Jul 22, 1996

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

CPLR 5240 grants the courts broad discretionary power to control and regulate the enforcement of a money judgment under CPLR article 52 to prevent unreasonable annoyance, expense, embarrassment, disadvantage, or other prejudice to any person or the court ( see, Guardian Loan Co. v. Early, 47 N.Y.2d 515). Under the circumstances of this case, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the relief sought ( see, Matter of AMEV Capital Corp. v. Kirk, 180 A.D.2d 791; cf., Seyfarth v. Bi-County Elec. Corp., 73 Misc.2d 363; Hammond v. Econo-Car of N. Shore, 71 Misc.2d 546; Gilchrist v. Commercial Credit Corp., 66 Misc.2d 791). Bracken, J.P., Miller, Joy, Hart and Krausman, JJ., concur.
