(Appeal No. 1.)
[670 NYS2d 163]

—Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: In this divorce action, Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in directing plaintiff to pay attorneys’ fees in the amount of $18,469.10 to her former attorney. Plaintiffs former attorney established his entitlement to those fees at a hearing, and plaintiff did not contend that they were unreasonable. We reject the contention of plaintiff that a previous award of attorneys’ fees pendente lite limits her former attorney’s ability to recover fees due from her (see, Bisca v Bisca, 108 AD2d 773 , 775, appeal dismissed 66 NY2d 741 ). We have examined plaintiffs remaining contention and conclude that it is without merit. (Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Erie County, Mattina, J. — Counsel Fees.)
