Respondent’s attorney fee award is reduced by excluding his attorneys’ March 2006 letter warning petitioners not to bring the 2006 holdover proceeding. To prepare that letter, respondent used legal research he repeated later in preparing his affirmation in support of the motion to dismiss dated May 8, 2006 for the 2006 holdover proceeding. (Respondent’s exhibit A.) Respondent used similar language and cited the same four cases in both sets of papers. Respondent cannot bill twice for work done once. The court will deduct 1.7 hours and $620.50 for the March 2 letter.
