In re Katz
Opinion of the Court
—In a proceeding to dissolve 3720 14th Avenue Realty Corp., the petitioner appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hurowitz, J.), dated March 23, 1994, which granted the motion of the receiver, Israel Goldberg, for settlement and approval of his account, and denied the petitioner’s objections thereto.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The petitioner, Benjamin Katz, moved for dissolution of a corporation in which he was a 50% shareholder. His partner Yeshaya Weinstock held the remainder of the shares. The corporation’s principal asset was a building located at 3720 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. The Supreme Court appointed Israel Goldberg as receiver. The receivership was terminated when the partners reconciled and the petitioner withdrew his petition for dissolution. The Supreme Court thereafter granted Goldberg’s motion to confirm his account and settle his commission. The petitioner now challenges the validity of the receiver’s account, and argues that due to "gross mismanagement” the receiver should be denied his commission.
There is nothing in the record to support the petitioner’s claim of gross mismanagement on the part of Goldberg. Neither does the record support the petitioner’s accusation that Goldberg or the management company he hired either wasted assets or unfairly charged for their services (cf., Coronet Capital
