Decision Date07 June 1983
Citation59 N.Y.2d 830,464 N.Y.S.2d 743
Parties, 451 N.E.2d 490 Sam AGATI, Respondent, v. Phyllis AGATI, Appellant.
CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

On review of submissions pursuant to rule 500.2(b) of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.2), the order of the Appellate Division, 92 A.D.2d 737, 461 N.Y.S.2d 95, should be affirmed, with costs.

The weight of the evidence more nearly comports with the Appellate Division's factual finding that petitioner did not waive his right to a deed to the former marital residence. Furthermore, we agree with the Appellate Division that the unclean hands doctrine does not bar petitioner's application to enforce the real estate transfer provisions of the divorce judgment (see Weiss v. Mayflower Doughnut Corp., 1 N.Y.2d 310, 316, 152 N.Y.S.2d 471, 135 N.E.2d 208).

COOKE, C.J., and JASEN, JONES, WACHTLER, MEYER and SIMONS, JJ., concur.

On review of submissions pursuant to rule 500.2(b) of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.2), order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
