ofchild support arrears at $53,5135.76 and a moneyjudgment in the sum of$21,916.34 was

Family Court, Kings County Order and July 6,2011 Order Entry Money Judgment are

7. After the filing ofvarious objections by Plaintiff Krichevsky seeking a reduction and

modification ofthe Final Order, by Decision and Order, dated April 2,2012, the Family Court

support magistrates to "hear,determine and grant any relief within the powers ofofthe court,

including to determine findings offact and a final order. See Exhibit"A": April 2,2012 Family

Court Decision and Order, p. 6.

8. By letter, dated June 24,2014,counsel to Judge Ruiz, the Supervising Judge ofthe

Family Court, Kings County, replied to Petitioner Krichevsky on behalfof Judge Ruiz and Judge

Richardson-Mendelson, the Administrative Judge ofthe Family Court, informing him that any

child support arrears, and failing to purge himselfofthe court's finding of willfulness and

thereby committed him to the custody ofthe New York City Department of Corrections for a

term ofsix months(6 mos.)to be served on weekends commencing on the weekend of January 2,

financial information documenting how he is currently supporting himself. Whilef

A copy ofthe June 19,2015 Order is annexed hereto as Exhibit"H".

Krichevsky's request for a protective order because of his failure to appear on the return date for

seeks relief pursuant to CPLR Article 78 seeking to annul the determinations ofSupport
Magistrates John Fasone and Michael Milsap.^Notice of Appeal By Verified Petition, page 1.
No Legal Grounds Exist For This Article 78 Proccedin

A. General Standards For An Article 78 Proceeding

18. Writs of prohibition and mandamus are only issued where there is a clear legal

right to the relief sought because oftheir extraordinary nature. Kevillv v. Honorof.287 A.D.2d

504,505,731 N.Y.S.2d 636,637(2d Dep't 2001). See also Matter of Grain Communications.

Inc. V. Hushes. 74 N.Y.2d 626,628,541 N.Y.S.2d 971,972(1989); State v. King.36 N.Y.2d 59,

62,364 N.Y.S.2d 879,882(1975); Matter of Gimorich v. Board ofEducation of the Citv of New

York.306 N.Y.401,406(1954). Even where there is a clear legal right, prohibition is available

only when a coiul acts or threatens to act either withoutjurisdiction or in excess ofits authorized

powers. See Matter of Holtzman v Goldman.71 N.Y.2d 564,569,528 N.Y.S.2d 21,24(1988);

Matter ofRush v Mordue.68 N.Y.2d 348,352,509 N.Y.S.2d 493,495(1986). Mandamus will

lie only to compel the performance ofa ministerial rather than a discretionary act. Brusco v.

Braun.84 N.Y.2d 674,679,621 N.Y.S.2d 291,292-93(1994); Matter of Legal Aid Societv v

Scheinman.53 N.Y.2d 12, 16,439 N.Y.S.2d 882,884(1981); State v. King,sunra.36 N.Y.2d at

2003).

19. An Article 78 proceeding cannot be used to compel a particular determination in a

judicial proceeding. Matter ofGimprich. supra.306 N.Y. at 406. S^ also Matter ofGrain

Communications. Inc.. suora. 74 N.Y.2d at 628,541 N.Y.S.2d at 972; Bloeth v. Marks. 20

(1964). Nor can an Article 78 proceeding be used to "correct or prevent trial errors of

substantive law or procedure, however grievous." LaRocca v. Lane. 37 N.Y.2d 575,579,376

N.Y.S.2d 93,97(1975). See also Jacobs v. Altman.69 N.Y.2d 733, 735,512 N.Y.S.2d 361,362

364 N.Y.S.2d at 882.

B. The Appellate Division Lacks Jurisdiction


Over This Article 78 Proceedin|y

20. CPLR 506(b)states, in pertinent part, that

(b)Proceeding against body or officer. A proceeding against a body or officer


shall be commenced in any county within the judicial district where the
respondent made the determination complaint ofor refused to perform the duty
specifically enjoined upon him by law, or where the proceedings were brought or
taken in the course of which the matter sought to be restrained originated, or
where the material events otherwise took place, or where the principal office of
the respondent is located, except that
1. a proceeding against a justice ofthe supreme court or ajudge of a county
court or the court of general sessions shall be commenced in the appellate division
in the judicial department where the action, in the course of which the matter
sought to be enforced or restrained originated, is triable, unless a term ofthe
appellate division in that department is not in session, in which case the
proceeding may be commenced in the appellate division in an adjoining judicial
department;

21. New York courts have held that the Appellate Division has subject matter

jurisdiction over an action or Article 78 proceeding involving a justice ofthe County or Supreme
Court. See Nolan v. Luneen.61 N.Y.2d 788,789 ,473 N.Y.S.2d 388,389(1984); Matter of

Santorelli v. District Attomev of Westchester Countv.252 A.D.2d 504,504-05,676 N.Y.S.2d

494,494-95(2d Dep't 1998); Baba v. Evans.213 A.D.2d 248,624 N.Y.S.2d 18(1st Dep't

1995), app. dismissed.89 N.Y.2d 888,653 N.Y.S.2d 911 (1996); cert, denied sub. nom., Baba v.

1133 Building Corp.. 520 U.S. 1254 117 S. Ct. 2416(1997); Herald Co. v. Rov. 107 A.D.2d 515,

518,487 N.Y.S.2d 435,437(4th Dep't), apg. dismissed. 65 N.Y.2d 922, app. denied.65 N.Y.2d

610(1985)(" The jurisdiction ofthis court[Appellate Division] is invoked pursuant to CPLR

506(b)(1) which directs that a proceeding against a Justice ofthe Supreme Court shall be
commenced in the Appellate Division. This provision concerns subject matterjurisdiction (see.
Matter ofNolan v Lungen.61 NY2d 788; CPLR 7804[b])"and it is nonwaivable.").

Conversely, ifthe petition in the Article 78 proceeding fails to name or assert any claims against
a County or Supreme Courtjustice, that proceeding must be brought in the Supreme Court

against all the parties.

22. The statutory requirement should be enforced here. Petitioner Krichevsky brings

this Article 78 proceeding against the Family Courtjudges, support magistrates, and clerks here

in the Appellate Division, which is not permissible under CPLR 506(b). Accordingly, this
Court does notjurisdiction and the application should be denied and the proceeding dismissed in

its entirety.

C. This Proceeding Is Barred By The


Appiicable Statute Of Limitations

23. The petition in this proceeding should be dismissed pursuant to CPLR 217 and

7804(f) because Petitioner Krichevsky failed to initiate this CPLR Article 78 proceeding within

the requisite statute oflimitations period.

24. CPLR 217 states that an Article 78 proceeding must be commenced within four

months after the order or decision sought to be reviewed became final or the refusal to perform

the duty believed to be mandated took place. CPLR 217(1);^Matter of Adventist Homes.

Inc. V. Ed. ofAssessors ofthe Town of Livingston. 83 N.Y.2d 878,880,612 N.Y.S.2d 371,372-

Alissa Kamnner Rudin. 256 A.D.2d 178,682 N.Y.S.2d 166(1st Dep't 1998); Simmons v.

PoDolizio. 160 A.D.2d 368,553 N.Y.S.2d 442(1st Dep't 1990);^also Siegel, NY Prac. 566

[2d ed 1991].

25. The Petition fails to specify the time frame that the alleged acts occurred. All claims

and allegations concerning the Family Court respondents, including thejudges and support

magistrates presiding over and rendering determinations involving the underlying child support

proceedings, occurred at the latest in 2015 and essentially have concluded because the child

entitled to receive financial support from Petitioner Krichevsky reached 21 years ofage in 2015,

the age of emancipation pursuant to Family Court Act 413(a). The petition fails to establish

any action by the Family Court occurriiig within the last four months that may raise a cognizable

claim or cause ofaction.

26. Clearly, this Article 78 petition has not been timely commenced pursuant to CPLR

217 and should be dismissed.

D. Petitioner Fails To State A Claim Or A Clear


Legal Right To the Relief Sought

27. Petitioner fails to establish a clear legal right to the reliefsought, including a right of

performance that is clear ofdoubt or controversy or the duty to act is premised upon specific

statutory authority.^Association of Surrogate and Sunreme Court Reporters v. Bartlett.40

N.Y.2d 571,574,388 N.Y.S.2d 882,884(1976); Matter of Carpenter v. Citv ofTrov. 192


A.D.2d 920,921,597 N.Y.S.2d 203,204(3rd Dep't 1993); Matter of Rosen v. Brewster. 160

A.D.2d 946,554 N.Y.S.2d 667,668(2d Dep't 1990).

28. As detailed above. Petitioner Krichevsky fails to establish a legally cognizable claim

or cause action; this Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction for an Article 78 proceeding

involving Family Courtjudges, support magistrates, and clerks pursuant to CPLR 506(b); and

the proceeding is barred by the statute oflimitations pursuant to CPLR 217 because no order or

decision sought to be reviewed became final or the refusal to perform the duty believed to be

mandated took place within the last four months. Accordingly, the application should be denied

and the proceeding dismissed.

WHEREFORE,your deponent respectfully requests ajudgment denjdng the petition and

dismissing the proceeding in its entirety and for such further and other reliefas this Court deems

just and proper.

No Leaal Grounds Exist For This Article 78 Proceeding

A. General Standards For An Article 78 Proceeding

18. Writs of prohibition anU mandamus are only issued where there is a clear legal

right to the reliefsought because oftheir extraordinary nature. Kevillv v. Honorof.287 A.D.2d

504, 505,731 N.Y.S.2d 636,637(2d Dep't 2001). See also Matter of Grain Communications.

Inc. V. Hughes.74 N.Y.2d 626,628,541 N.Y.S.2d 971,972(1989); State v. King.36 N.Y.2d 59,

62,364 N.Y.S.2d 879,882(1975); Matter of Gimorich v. Board of Education ofthe Citv of New

York.306 N.Y.401,406(1954). Even where there is a clear legal right, prohibition is available

only when a court acts or threatens to act either withoutjurisdiction or in excess ofits authorized

powers. See Matter of Holtzman v Goldman.71 N.Y.2d 564,569,528 N.Y.S.2d 21,24(1988);

Matter of Rush v Mordue.68 N.Y.2d 348,352,509 N.Y.S.2d 493,495(1986). Mandamus will

lie only to compel the performance ofa ministerial rather than a discretionary act. Brusco v.

Braim.84 N.Y.2d 674,679,621 N.Y.S.2d 291,292-93(1994); Matter of Legal Aid Societv v

Scheinman.53 N.Y.2d 12, 16,439 N.Y.S.2d 882,884(1981); State v. King,suora. 36 N.Y.2d at

2003).

19. An Article 78 proceeding cannot be used to compel a particular determination in a

judicial proceeding. Matter ofGimorich. suora.306 N.Y. at 406. See also Matter of Grain

Communications. Inc.. suora. 74 N.Y.2d at 628,541 N.Y.S.2d at 972; Bloeth v. Marks.20

(1964). Nor can an Article 78 proceeding be used to "correct or prevent trial errors of

substantive law or procedure, however grievous." LaRocca v. Lane. 37 N.Y.2d 575,579, 376

N.Y.S.2d 93,97(1975). See also Jacobs v. Altman.69 N.Y.2d 733,735,512 N.Y.S.2d 361,362
(1987); Veioz v. Rothwax.65 N.Y.2d 902,903-04,493 N.Y.S.2d 452,452-53(1985); Hennessv

V. Gorman.58 N.Y.2d 806, 807,459 N.Y.S.2d 261 (1983); State v. King,supra. 36 N.Y.2d at 62,

364 N.Y.S.2d at 882.

B. The Appellate Division Lacks Jurisdiction


Over This Article 78 Proceeding

20. CPLR 506(b)states, in pertinent part, that

(b)Proceeding against body or officer. A proceeding against a body or officer


shall be commenced in any county within thejudicial district where the
respondent made the determination complained ofor refused to perform the duty
specifically enjoined upon him by law, or where the proceedings were brought or
taken in the course of which the matter sought to be restrained originated, or
where the material events otherwise took place, or where the principal office of
the respondent is located, except that
1. a proceeding against a justice ofthe supreme court or a judge of a county.
court or the court of general sessions shall be commenced in the appellate division
in the judicial department where the action, in the course of which the matter
sought to be enforced or restrained originated, is triable, unless a term of the
appellate division in that department is not in session, in which case the
proceeding may be commenced in the appellate division in an adjoining judicial
department;

21. New York courts have held that the Appellate Division has subject matter

jurisdiction over an action or Article 78 proceeding involving a justice ofthe County or Supreme

Court. See Nolan v. Luneen.61 N.Y.2d 788,789,473 N.Y.S.2d 388,389(1984); Matter of

Santorelli v. District Attomev of Westchester County. 252 A.D.2d 504,504-05,676 N.Y.S.2d

494,494-95(2d Dep't 1998); Baba v. Evans.213 A.D.2d 248,624 N.Y.S.2d 18 (1st Dep't

1995),app. dismissed.89 N.Y.2d 888,653 N.Y.S.2d 911 (1996); cert, denied sub. nom.. Baba v.

1133 Building Corp.. 520 U.S. 1254 117 S. Ct. 2416(1997); Herald Co. v. Rov. 107 A.D.2d 515,

518,487 N.Y.S.2d 435,437(4th Dep't), app. dismissed. 65 N.Y.2d 922, app. denied.65 N.Y.2d

610(1985)(" Thejurisdiction ofthis court [Appellate Division] is invoked pursuant to CPLR

506(b)(1) which directs that a proceeding against a Justice ofthe Supreme Court shall be
commenced in the Appellate Division. This provision concerns subject matterjurisdiction (see.

Matter of Nolan v Luneen.61 NY2d 788; CPLR 7804[b])"and it is nonwaivable.").

Conversely, ifthe petition in the Article 78 proceeding fails to name or assert any claims against
a Coimty or Supreme Courtjustice, that proceeding must be brought in the Supreme Court

against all the parties.

22. The statutory requirement should be enforced here. Petitioner Krichevsky brings

this Article 78 proceeding against the Family Courtjudges,support magistrates, and clerks here

in the Appellate Division, which is not permissible under CPLR 506(b). Accordingly,this

Court does notjurisdiction and the application should be denied and the proceeding dismissed in

its entirety.

C. This Proceeding Is Barred By The


Appiicable Statute Of Limitations

23. The petition in this proceeding should be dismissed pursuant to CPLR 217 and

7804(f) because Petitioner Krichevsky failed to initiate this CPLR Article 78 proceeding within

the requisite statute oflimitations period.

24. CPLR 217 states that an Article 78 proceeding must be commenced within four

months after the order or decision sought to be reviewed became final or the refusal to perform

the duty believed to be mandated took place. CPLR 217(1); see Matter of Adventist Homes.

Inc. V. Bd. of Assessors ofthe Town of Livingston. 83 N.Y.2d 878,880,612 N.Y.S.2d 371,372-

Popolizio. 160 A.D.2d 368,553 N.Y.S.2d 442(1st Dep't 1990); see also Siegel, NY Prac. 566

[2d ed 1991].

25. The Petition fails to specify the time frame that the alleged acts occurred. All claims

and allegations concerning the Family Court respondents, including thejudges and support

magistrates presiding over and rendering determinations involving the underlying child support

proceedings, occurred at the latest in 2015 and essentially have concluded because the child

entitled to receive financial support from Petitioner Krichevsky reached 21 years ofage in 2015,

the age ofemancipation pursuant to Family Court Act 413(a). The petition fails to establish

any action by the Family Court occurring within the last four months that may raise a cognizable

claim or cause of action.

26. Clearly, this Article 78 petition has not been timely conunenced pursuant to CPLR

217 and should be dismissed.

D. Petitioner Fails To State A Claim Or A Clear


Legal Right To the Relief Sought

27. Petitioner fails to establish a clear legal right to the reliefsought, including a right of

performance that is clear ofdoubt or controversy or the duty to act is premised upon specific

statutory authority.^Association ofSurrogate and Supreme Court Reporters v. Bartlett.40

N.Y.2d 571,574, 388 N.Y.S.2d 882,884(1976); Matter of Carpenter v. Citv ofTrov. 192
A.D.2d 920,921,597 N.Y.S.2d 203,204(3rd Dep't 1993); Matter of Rosen v. Brewster. 160

A.D.2d 946,554 N.Y.S.2d 667,668(2d Dep't 1990).

28. As detailed above, Petitioner Krichevsky fails to establish a legally cognizable claim

or cause action; this Court does not have subject matterjurisdiction for an Article 78 proceeding

involving Family Court judges, support magistrates, and clerks pursuant to CPLR 506(b); and

the proceeding is barred by the statute oflimitations pursuant to CPLR 217 because no order or

decision sought to be reviewed became final or the refusal to perform the duty believed to be

mandated took place within the last four months. Accordingly, the application should be denied

and the proceeding dismissed.

WHEREFORE, your deponent respectfully requests ajudgment denying the petition and

dismissing the proceeding in its entirety and for such further and other relief as this Court deems

just and proper.

Petitioner, (After filing of Objections)

- against
Docket Number F-28901-08/10AfiB
MICHAEL KRICHEVSKY, Objection # 3 on Supp "A*
Objection # 4 on Supp "B"
Respondent.

N0TIC3B: YOUR WZLLFDL FAILURE TO OBEY THIS ORDER MAY, AFTER


A COURT BEARING, RESULT IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO JAIL
FOR A TERM NOT TO EXCEED SIX MONTHS, FOR CONTEMPT OF
COURT.

NOTICE: PURSUANT TO 1113 OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT, AN APPEAL MUST


BE TAKEN WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE ORDER BY
APPELLANT IN COURT, 35 DAYS FBCM THE MAILING OF THE ORDER
TO THE APPELLANT BY THE CLERK OF. THE COURT, OR 35 DAYS
AFTER SERVICE BY A PARTY OR LAW GUARDIAN UPON THE
APPELLANT, WHICHEVER IS EARLIEST.

The parties have been embroiled in litigation in Kings

County Family Court for four years and have had a lengthy history
before the undersigned.^ The history of this case is as follows:

On February 3, 2010, Support Magistrate Fasone issued a Final

Order of Support and directed the Respondent to pay $2,045.00

monthly^ toward the support of the subject child, David Svenson

(d.o.b. 8/14/94), and set the arrears from the date of filing at

$31,599.42. The Respondent was directed to enroll the child in

his health insurance plan and the Support Magistrate authorized

reimbursement of Petitioner's counsel fees.

On April 22, 2010, Respondent filed Supplemental "A"

seeking a downward modification on the grounds that he lost his

job, could not afford the health insurance premium and was

disputing the amount of arrears owed. On June 21,.2010,

^ This is the sixth application before the undersigned. The first


objection was ^filed by the. Petitioner on August 18, 2009 to an interim order
of support. On October 9, 2009, Petitioner withdrew the Objection. The second
objection was filed by the Respondent on April 2, 2010 to the Elnal Otder of
Support issued by Support Magistrate Fasone on February 3, 2010. The
undersigned denied the Objection on June 2, 2010 based on procedural grounds
due to the untimely filing of the Objection. The third Objection was filed by
the Respondent on August 9, 2010 to the Support Magistrate's verbal refusal to
recuse himself. The Objection was denied on procedural grounds as the
Objection was not ripe for review. The fourth motion was filed by the
Respondent on July 5, 2011-and decided on October 18, 2011. An objection was
filed by Che Respondent on August 18, 2011 and was denied on procedural
grounds.

^ The Support Magistrate did not deviate from the full amount required
under the Child Support standards Act. The Petitioner's adjusted gross income
was determined to be $20,800.00 and the Respondent's adjusted gross income
$145,145.40. The combined parental income was determined to be $165,945.40 of
which the Petitioner's pro ra.ta share was calculated at 13% and the.
Respondent's pro rata share at 87%. Pursuant to Che Child Support Standards
Act, Che Support Magistrate determined the annual child support obligation for
the parties' child was 17% of their adjusted gross income or $22,100.00 for
the combined income up to $130,000.00. The Respondent's share of the first
$130,000.00 is $1,602.25 monthly. The Support Magistrate applied the
statutory percentage of 17% to the income over $130,000.00, which was
$35,945.40, The Respondent's pro rata share was $443.03 monthly. The
Respondent's share for the income below $130,000($l,602.25} when combined with
the Respondent's share for the income above $130,000.00, ($443.03), resulted
in a monthly order of $2045.28 for the Respondent.
Petitioner filed Supplemental "B" alleging that Respondent
violated the Order of Support and Respondent failed to maintain
the subject child on his health insurance. Subsequent motion
practice ensued.

On July 26, 2010, Respondent filed Supplemental C, an Order

to Show Cause for a Temporary Restraining Order to stay the


current Order of Support and for the entry of an Order of Support
in the amount of $315.90 per month based upon.his receipt of
unenployment benefits. On August 5, 2010, Support Magistrate

Fasone declined to sign the Order to Show Cause and dismissed

Supplemental "C on the grounds that the issuance of a tein)orary


restraining order was beyond the scope of his authority..
The case continued with multiple,appearance dates on August
12, 2010, November 18, 2010, March 16, 2011, April 13, .2011, June

1, 2011' and ultimately concluded on July 6, 2011. On Jtily 6,:


2011, the Support Magis.trate dismissed Supplemental "A,"

Respondent's downward modification petition, because the

Respondent "made it impossible to conduct any meaningful inquiry


into che totality of his financial circumstances" and entered a

money judgment on supplemental "B," Petitioner's violation

petition, in the amount of $21,916.34.

On July 5, 2011, one day prior to the last hearing date.

Respondent filed an "Objection, Notice of Motion to Dismiss and

The Order of Support remained in effect throughout the pendency of the


proceeding with the exception of che modification entered June l. 2011 on
Supplemental "A" to $298.00 monthly.
for Sununary Judgment* on Supplementals "A" and "B." No

answering papers were ever filed. The papers were recorded as an

Objection and sent to the undersigned for review. The "Objection,

Notice of Motion to Dismiss and for Summary Judgment" essentially

argued the following:(I) The Final Order of Support entered on

February 25, 2010 is void and the sidasequent decision on the

Objection of the undersigned entered on June 2, 2010 is void;(2)

Supplemental "B" should be dismissed;(3) Respondent seeks an

award of costs, disbursements and reasonable attorney's fees;(4)

Respondent seeks leave to renew and reargue his recusal motion to

disqualify the Support Magistrate from his case;(5) Respondent

asserts he is entitled to Summary Judgment on Supplemental "E"

because no questions of law or fact exist;(6) Respondent seeks to

be relieved from the underlying order of support pursueint to

Civil Practice Law and Rules 5015(a) because of lack of

jurisdiction.

The Respondent's motion was mistitled' as an Objection*


although it was an omnibus motion and should have been heard by

Support Magistrate Fasone during the pendency of the hearing

instead of being referred to the undersigned. The undersigned

entertained the first item in the Respondent's motion in the

interest of judicial economy, which was denied on October 18,

2011, and referred all other matters in this omnibus motion to

* On August 13, 2011, the Respondent Ciled an actual ''Objection* to


Support Magistrate Faaone's final order entered on July 6, 2011, which was
denied on procedural grounds as it was late.
Support Magistrate Pasone for decision. To enable the Support

Magistrate to decide the omnibus motion in an orderly way, the


Court issued written decision dated October 18, 2011 directing

the Support Magistrate to clean up the record by setting aside


decisions on Supplementals "A" and "B" until the motion filed on
July 5, 2011 was heard, issue written decisions with findings of
facts on all motions on the appropriate dockets, and directed

that Supplemental "C" be re-filed as a motion under Supplemental


"A."

Further, the undersigned directed that oral argument on the


motion be heard before Support Magistrate Pasone on December 12,

2011. Bach party was to be given fifteen minutes to present their


oral argument. Petitioner and Responderit were dire.cted to submit
any documents for consideration to the -Support Magistrateten
days in advance of the hearing date. No adjournments of the
December 12, 2011 date should be granted except for extraordinary

circumstances. After determination on the motion, the. Support

Magistrate could then issue final orders on Supplementals "A" and


"B."

On December 12, 2011, both parties appeared. The Respondent

would not state his name for the record and would not address the

Court claiming he is never heard. He moved to the back of the


courtroom to sit in the observer's row claiming that the Support

Magistrate had no jurisdiction over him. Ultimately, he left the


courtroom. The Support Magistrate denied the Respondent's motion
finding that the Respondent had declined to participate in the

hearing and dismissed Supplementals "A" and "B* on the grounds

that the "respondent-father's consistent refusal to coherently

participate in any of the subsequent hearings on his petition

makes it impossible for the undersigned to determine whether

modification is appropriate given petitioner-mother's repeated

protestations that he owns/possesses other income producing

assets." The Support Magistrate determined that the Respondent

non-willfully failed to obey the court's order by refusing to

make all payments resulting in arrears.

Family Court Act [hereinafter cited as "FCA"J 439(a)

empowers Support Magistrates "to hear, determine and grant any

relief within the powers of the court" in proceedings properly

before them. FCA 439(e)- provides that the Support Magistrate's

determination "shall include findings of fact and a final Order."

The parties are permitted by the statute to submit "specific

written objections" to the order for "review" by a Family Court

judge within the time frames set forth in the statute. Pursuant

to FCA 439(e), "specific objections to such order may be filed

by either party with the court within thirty days after receipt

of the order in court or by personal service, or, if the

objecting party or parties did not receive the'order in court or

by personal service, thirty-five days after mailing of the order

to such party or parties." The Respondent's Objections, dated

January 20, 2012, were received and filed by the Court on January
23, 2012. By statute, the Petitioner had thirteen days to file a
written Rebuttal; no written Rebuttal was filed with the Court.

In Respondent's Objection, he argued that all of Support

Magistrate Fasone's orders should be void based upon "bias,

prejudice, and corruption"* and that the Support Magistrate did


not follow the undersigned's directives. Respondent states that

he did not get the decisions from Support Magistrate Fasone and

therefore, did not know what to argue on December 12, 2011 and

was y*not ready for argument."'

Upon full review of the record provided to the Court, the

Findings of Fact and Order issued by the Support Magistrate, and

the Objection filed by the Respondent, this Court' hereby denies

the Respondent's Objection on procedural grounds.

-The Orders,on Supplementals "A" and "B" were mailed on

December 15, 2011. Since the objection was filed on January 23,

2012,* more than thirty five days from the date of mailing, the

Objection is deemed untimely (Family Court Act 439(e)/ Russell

Attached to the Respondent's Objections is an affidavit of service


Indicating that on January 20,2012, Melli Prid, a person over the age of
eigbtran and not a party to the action, personally served a copy of the
Objections to the Petitioner. The affidavit was notarized on January 23, 2012.

crossed out. underneath the date stamp, it states "Jan. 23 PM 4:34 PTP." PTP
are the initials of the Assistant Deputy Chief Clerk of the Support Division.
It is clear that the date stamp was an error as it states "2011" instead of
2012 cuid January 18 predates Che Respondent's completion of his Objection
(dated January 20, 20l2), his affidavit in support (dated January 20. 2012)
and his affidavit of service (notarized on January 23, 2012).

FAMILY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK


COUNTY OF KINGS

In the Matter ofa Proceeding for Support


under Article 4 of die Family Court Act

ELENA SVENSON, Docket No.F-28901/08F


Petitioner FUeM42040

FINDINGS OF FACT
-against- and DECISION

MICHAEL KRICHEVSKY,
Respondent

Michael R.Milsap,
Support Magistrate

Petitioner filed the instant Supplemental F Petition on 7/19/2013 stating respondent had

failed to pay an order ofchild support since January 2013. The ordra ofsupport being
complained about is $2,04S/month for the support ofthe David Svenson, bom on 8/14/1994. On

a prior violation petition the court determined on 7/6/2011 that respondent owed arrears to

petitioner and gave her a moneyjudgmentfor $21,916.34.

It is important to note that all prior petitions and proceedings had been had in Part 27

before Magistrate Fasone. However on 3/21/2014 he recused himgulfand the case was

transferred to this Magistrate. On 2/2S/2014,the court had received a report firom the Support
Collection Unit(SCU)that respondent's arrears owing to petitioner,including prior arrears,
moneyjudgment and interest, were $108,616.73. Magistrate Fasone ordered respondent to pay
the ongoing order ofsupport and an additional amount ofSI,022.50 toward the stated arrears

effective 3/15/2014, with said payments to be paid through SCU. Additionally,respondent was
O n

ordered to provide to the Court transcripts ofhis 2011,2012 and 2013 personal income tax

returns and a Financial Disclosure. The case was to be adjoumed to 4/2/2014, however on

3/20/2014, Magistrate Fasone issued Findings of.Fact and an Order recusing himselffiom any

further involvement in the parties' Family Court litigation and declared a mistrial as to the

current petition.

On 6/23/2014,this matter was scheduled before this Part(24)pursuant to re-assignment


and although petitioner failed to appear,she had contacted the court and requested an

adjournment. Respondent appeared and objected to any adjournment and the court denied his

request The court had contacted and arranged for an 18b attomey to be available for possible

assignment to respondent Respondent stated he was unemployed and without any income(as

stated by him because of hardship caused by the court's orders ofsupport)and although he did

not have private counsel he irutially rejected the court's offer ofassignment ofcounsel. The

court advised respondent ofthe importance ofhaving competent legal representation due to the

issue ofpossible incarceration as a result ofany wUlfulnras finding against him. Respondent

reluctantly agreed and 18b Attomey Eli Yeager was assigned to represent respondent and the

matter was adjoumed to 9/30/2014.

Before the case was called on 9/30/2014,respondent informed court staffthat he was not

going to be represented by Attomey Eli Yeager and had his own representative he wanted to

appear with and for him. The court inquired and was informed that respondent's representative

was not a licenced attomey in the State ofNew York(and there was no indication he was in fact

an attomey). On the record, the court declined respondent's request to have a non-attorney
^ o

represent him or participate in these proceedings. Mr. Yeager informed the court that he haH

previously met with and had a lengthy conversation with respondent who infiiimed Mr. Yeager
that he declined to have Mr. Yeager represent him. Respondent stated that Mr. Yeager would not
agree to take up all the issues he wanted to raise and address as to the injustices he had feced

regarding the past actions ofthis court Respondent went on to say he would only accept Mr.
Yeager's representation if Mr. Yeager would enter into a specific contract with him which Mr.

Yeager declined to do. The court asked ifrespondent wanted an adjournment to obtain his own
attomey and advised respondent ofthe seriousness ofthese matters and again stated the

importance that he had competent legal counsel due to petitioner's requestthat he be found in
willful contempt. However, respondent was adamant in not having an attomey he believed would
be closely aligned with the court system which he refened to as a Corporation.
Respondent thereafter proceeded without counsel when the court again denied his request to have
a non-attorney represent him.

The issue before the court is a narrow one as presented by the instant petition,that being
whether respondent has violated an order ofthis court and ifso, what remedy may be imposed
against him pursuant to FCA 454. The court has received a report ftom SCU dated 9/26/2014

prepared on 9/25/2014 and in said report as to the accrual ofsiqiport since July 2011,respondent's
ciurent anears including prior airears, moneyjudgment and interest, total $124,079.38. The

report detailed SCU's collection primary through income execution fiom respondent's receipt of
unemployment benefits fi'om July 2011 through December 2012 and a property execution in
January 2014 making total collection at $15,416.78 with no payments or collections since
O n

1/22/2013. Petitioner did not dispute SCU's report and denied receiving any direct payments

from respondent since July 2011. Respondent refused to look at or comment on the report from

SCU. Petitioner stated she believed respondent was in willful violation ofthe order ofsupport in

that she believed respondent owned several real properties that could be used to satisfy all or part
ofthe support obligation. When asked by the court ifhe owned any properties, respondent

declined to answer saying he did not want to incriminate Himself.

The law is well defined and settled regarding proceedings as to a violation ofan order of

support Pursuant to FCA4S4,this court is givoi the authorify to detomine ifthere has been a

violation ofa court order and the remedy for such is at a minimum a mon^judgment for the

amount owed. FCA 454-2(a). In addition to a moneyJudgment,ifthe court finds that the

violation is willful, the court may"commit the respondent to jail for a term not to exceed six

months." FCA 454-3(a). The evidence ofrespondent's Mlure to pay the order ofsupport is

shown in the report from SCU(which is in evidence as the court's exhibit). Where the court has

evidence offailure to pay court ordered support it would constitute piima facie evidence ofa

willful violation that could lead to civil contempt Restivo v. Cincu. 1 lA.D.3rd 621,782

N.Y.S.2d 867(2""Dept 2004);Ztdlov.Hom. 10 A.D.3d 614,782 N.Y.S.2d 677(2"'Dept 2004).


Where the proofoffrdlure to pay is uncontradicted it would support a prima &cie finding ofa

willful violation and the burden would then shift to respondent to offer some credible evidence of

his inability to make the required payments. Poddos v. Iris. 288 A.D.2d 719,732 N.Y.S.2d 729

(3"" Dept. 2001);Marrav. Hernandez. 102 A.D.3d 699(2"* Dept 2013).

As stated, respondent failed to even review or comment on the report from SCU as to his
o o

payments or whether he had the ability to pay. Instead,respondent had filed a Motion seeking to

vacate the underlying orders that had been entered against him stating th^r were"VOID,&aud

upon the court,contrary to the weight ofthe evidence". Respondent's numerous objections to

various orders 1^ the prior Magistrate were ultimately denied and there is no indication that

respondent's appeal to the Appellate Division has lead to any reversal ofthe instant order.

Basically,respondent's defense,ifit may be called such is to attack the authority ofnot

only this court but the OfBce ofCourt Administration and the integrity ofthis Magistrate and

whether he has bei &irly treated in the lengthy litigation between the parties over the years.

Respondent constantly referred to this court, OCA and diis Magistrate as being a part ofa

corporation whose sole purpose is to deprive him ofhis assets and to enrich the corporation.

Respondent instead ofaddressing the question as to whether he had the ability to pay the order of

support since the last order and moneyjudgment in July 2011,demanded ofthe Magistrate to

answer his prepared questions unrelated to the petition as ifhe was conducting a deposition and

the Magistrate was an unsworn witness(as stated by respondent). His questions as to whether the

Magistrate had a coiitract with him, had taken an oath or was bonded and whether this court's

existence violated the U.S. Constitution was totally outside ofthe narrow issue before this court

Part at present. This Magistrate at this moment in time is unable to undo the prior orders of

support issued against respondent and upheld on objections. Additionally,there is no petition

before the court filed by respondent seeking to modify the underlying order ofsupport and even it

there was,depending on the filing date ofsuch petition, it would have little impact as to the

determination ofcurrent arrears stated to be owed. There was no offer or attempt to offer
n o

evidence from respondent of his income,resourees or ability to pay. lEven though the report by

SCU indicated that respondent had received unemployment benefits up to December 2013,

re^ndent offered no testimony or evidence as to how he has supported himselfsince then or that

he was seeking to obtain employment or that he could or would pay any amount ofsupport absent

a garnishment notice by SCU.

Given the testimony ofpetitioner and the report by the Support Collection Unit and

respondent's feilure to offer any evidence to rebut such,the court finds that reqxmdent is in

willful violation ofthe court's order ofsupport In lieu ofa present recommendation that

respondent be incarcerated for his willful contempt,respondent shall be ordered to pay no less
than $10,000 by the next court date to piirge himselfofthe court's finding of willfulness. In the

event respondent fails to do so,this matter may be referred to ajudge in this court with a
reconunendation for respondent's incarceration pursuant to FCA 4S4-3(a).

This matter is adjourned to Tuesday,December 2,2014 at 11 a.ni. in Part 24. The court

is to notify the parties.

#142040

This matter is before the court regarding the question as to respondent being found to be
m willful contempt ofthe court's order ofsupport. Both parties have speared before the court
and both are without counsel. Petitioner waives counsel and respondent does request time for
counsel and states he is withoutthe funds to afford counsel and states no attom^ will represent
him.

Petitionw had filed a violation petition on 7/19/2013 allegiog respondent had not
complied with the court's order ofsiqiport of$2,045/mohth for the subject child. On 2/25/2014,
the court found that respondent owed $108,616.73 in support arrears and respondent was ordered
to pay an additional amount of$1,022.50 toward his arrears in addition to the ongoing order; On
10/3/2014 the court issued written Findings ofFact and Decision finding respondent owed child
supjport arrears of $124,079.38. In that respondent had &iled to meet his court ordered
obligation, respondent was found to be in willfiil contempt and ordered to pay $10,000 by today's
court date to purge himselfofcontempt or face the possibility ofincarceration.

^ cotirt hns received a report firom the Support Collection Unit indicating respondent
has failed to p^the purge amount and has made no payment ofsupport since 10/15/2014.
Respondent refuses to answer the court's question as to vdiether any payments were made to
SCU since the last court date contrary to the report from the Support Collection Unit and
petitioner states she has received no payments. Accordingly, based on tire courts Findings and
Decision of 10/2/2014 and respondent's failure to purge himselfofthe court's finding of
willfulness,this matter is referred to Part 14 with a recommendation that respondent be
incarcerated pursuant to FCA 454-3(a).

Respondent, Michael Krichevsky,objects to the determination ofSupport Magistrate


Michael Milsap entered on October 3,2014, wherein Respondent was found to be in willful
violation ofthe court's order ofsupport and entering a moneyjudgment in the amount of
$124,079.38. The Support Magistrate also recommended that Respondent be incarcerated for
his willful violation Ifhe did not pay $10,000.00 by December 2,2014. Respondent argues that
the Support Magistrate erred because the underlying support order is void and there is no
contemptinresistingai.uiilawfiiJvoidoider. Respondent further argues that there' was no

lawful hearing, but rather an attempt by the Support Magistrate to forcefuUy trick Respondent
irto arguing the merits ofthe matter. Respondent also argues that the Support Magistrate did
not have subject matterJurisdiction to hear the support violation petition,and Respondent never
provided written consent to have a support magistrate preside over the matter. Finally,
Respondent argues that a support magistrate cannot adjudicate child support matters when an
affirmative defense ofvisitation is raised. Petitioner,Elena Svenson,did not file a rebuttal.
Afterreview arul consideration ofthe record,including listening to the mechanical
recording ofthe proceeding. Respondent's objection is denied.
The issues raised by Respondent in his objection are not reviewable. Family Court Act
439(e)provides that"a party filing objections shall serve a copy ofsuch objections upon the
opposmg i^...proofofservice upon the opposing party shaU be filed with the court at the time
offiling ofobjections." In the Instant matter,there is no affidavit ofservice attwhed to
Respondent's objection. Since Respondent provides no proofofservice ofhis objection on
Petitioner, Respondent failed to fulfill a condition precedent to filing timely written objections to
the Support Magistrate's order and thus waived his rights to review.of her objection. See
