STV Group, Inc. v. American Continental Properties, Inc.
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; June 12, 1995; New York; State Appellate Court
Frederick Cohen, Esq. and Ross and Cohen, Esqs. faced allegations of civil and criminal contempt. The court summoned both appellants' and respondents' attorneys to address potential sanctions or costs under 22 NYCRR 130-1.1 (c) related to the respondents' motion to dismiss an appeal from a Supreme Court order issued on May 20, 1994. After a hearing on April 12, 1995, the court determined that the respondents' motion to dismiss was not frivolous, leading to the conclusion that no sanctions or costs would be imposed. Judges Bracken, Sullivan, Balletta, and Ritter concurred with this decision.
