v
Julian Maurice Herman et al., Appellants, et al., Defendants. (And a Third-Party Action.)

Decided October 12, 2017

Herman v Herman, 144 AD3d 433, affirmed.

{**30 NY3d at 926} OPINION OF THE COURT

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed, with costs, and certified question answered in the affirmative. Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in precluding defendant Julian Maurice Herman from participating in the inquest to assess damages against him. Moreover, the denial of that defendant’s cross motion was proper.

Concur: Chief Judge DiFiore and Judges Rivera, Stein, Fahey, Garcia and Wilson. Taking no part: Judge Feinman.
