VINCENT M. MAULELLA, Appellant,

v.JOAN M. MAULELLA, Respondent.

Decided January 29, 2001.

Ritter, J.P., S. Miller, Friedmann and Smith, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the appeal from so much of the order as imposed a sanction upon the plaintiff's attorney is dismissed, as the plaintiff is not aggrieved thereby (see, CPLR 5511; Rodriguez v Pontillo, 278 AD2d 400); and it is further,

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as reviewed; and it is further,

Ordered that the respondent is awarded one bill of costs.

The Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiff's motion to terminate his maintenance obligation, as he failed to demonstrate a change of circumstances that would warrant such relief (see, Klapper v Klapper, 204 AD2d 518, 519).
