Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 20, 2011 (L&R Exploration Venture v. Grynberg)

Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in finding respondent in contempt based upon his wife’s commencement of an action in Wyoming asserting the same claims that were stayed in this special proceeding in favor of arbitration (L&R Exploration Venture v Grynberg, 22 AD3d 221 [2005], lv denied 6 NY3d 749 [2005]).
