Opinion
POLLAK, Acting P. J.
Plaintiff Claire Louise Diepenbrock and her attorney William L. Veen and the Veen Law Firm, P.C. (collectively Veen), appeal a judgment imposing $5,000 in sanctions against Diepenbrock and Veen for opposing a motion for a protective order by Derek Brown, a deponent in Diepenbrock’s personal injury action against Derek Brown’s wife, Kyle Brown.1 We conclude that although plaintiff’s position was rejected on the merits, there was substantial justification for the opposition and therefore that the sanctions were wrongly imposed.
