STEPHENS v. STEPHENS

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements; the defendant's time within which to comply with the plaintiff's discovery demands or to supply his affidavit is extended until 30 days after service upon him of a copy of this decision and order with notice of entry.

The record supports the determination of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, that the defendant did not willfully and contumaciously resist disclosure (see generally, Sawh v Bridges, 120 A.D.2d 74). Accordingly, the Supreme Court did not err in only conditionally granting the plaintiff's motion to strike the defendant's answer. Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Eiber, Spatt and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
