DECISION & ORDER

In an action, inter alia, for an accounting and to cancel a notice of mechanic's lien, the defendant Nicholas Spyreas appeals from a money judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Frederick D.R. Sampson, J.), dated November 26, 2021. The money judgment, upon an order of the same court dated June 14, 2021, is in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant Nicholas Spyreas in the principal sum of $16,952.25.

ORDERED that the money judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The appellant has failed to raise any meritorious contentions with respect to the order dated June 14, 2021, granting the plaintiff's application for an award of attorneys’ fees in connection with the appellant's civil contempt, or the money judgment dated November 26, 2021.

We decline the plaintiff's request for the imposition of sanctions based on the appellant's allegedly frivolous conduct in prosecuting this appeal (see Kokolis v. Wallace, 202 A.D.3d 948, 163 N.Y.S.3d 541 ).

DILLON, J.P., CHAMBERS, MALTESE and VOUTSINAS, JJ., concur.
