In light of the disingenuous characterization of Devine's statements and the well-established law on the absolute litigation privilege, we agree with Supreme Court that the challenged causes of action were frivolous (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.1 [c] [1], [2], [3]). Contrary to plaintiffs' argument, there was no abuse of discretion in that determination, nor in thus awarding defendants a portion of the counsel fees incurred in defending against same (see 22 NYCRR 130-1.1 [a], [c] [1]-[3]; cf. Grasso v Mathew, 164 AD2d at 479-480).
