Before ROSENBLATT, J.P., and HART, KRAUSMAN and GOLDSTEIN, JJ.

MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the husband appeals from an order of the Family Court, Rockland County (Stanger, J.), entered July 11, 1994, which denied his objections to an order of the same court (Miklitsch, H.E.), dated December 12, 1993, which, inter alia, enforced a temporary order of support of the Supreme Court, Rockland County, dated February 19, 1993.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Family Court acted within its jurisdiction when it enforced a temporary order of support issued by the Supreme Court, Rockland County, in the underlying matrimonial action (see, Family Ct Act §§ 466[c]; 461[b]; Matter of Leontitsis v. Leontitsis, 128 A.D.2d 535, 512 N.Y.S.2d 465; see also, Matter of Smith v. Smith, 191 A.D.2d 1010, 595 N.Y.S.2d 278; Matter of Martin v. Martin, 127 A.D.2d 266, 514 N.Y.S.2d 413; Boyd v. Boyd, 40 A.D.2d 588, 334 N.Y.S.2d 589; Matter of Althea Butts "MM" v. Donald Melvin "MM", 39 A.D.2d 995, 333 N.Y.S.2d 581; Desroches v. Desroches, 23 A.D.2d 903, 259 N.Y.S.2d 57; Matter of Rockland County Dept. of Social Servs. [DeCarlo] v. DeCarlo, 146 Misc.2d 184, 549 N.Y.S.2d 898; Matter of Tighe-Duck v. Duck, 135 Misc.2d 631, 515 N.Y.S.2d 946; Matter of Hendricks v. Hendricks, 89 Misc.2d 1052, 1056, 393 N.Y.S.2d 523).

The husband's remaining contention is without merit (see, Matter of Seitz v. Drogheo, 21 N.Y.2d 181, 185, 287 N.Y.S.2d 29, 234 N.E.2d 209; Vazquez v. Vazquez, 26 A.D.2d 701, 273 N.Y.S.2d 12).
