Pelusio, Rochester Linoleum & Carpet Center, Inc., and Pelusio Family Partners, L.L.C. from an order issued by the Supreme Court in Monroe County (Judge Matthew A. Rosenbaum) on January 25, 2017. The order denied the defendants' motion to suspend payments owed to the plaintiff, Donna Haher, under their agreement, citing a claimed lack of funds. The Appellate Division unanimously affirmed the lower court's order without costs, indicating that the rationale for the decision was consistent with a previous memorandum in Haher v.
