—[*1] Rice, Reid, Broderick & Wattengel, Niagara Falls (Paul H. Reid, Jr., of counsel), for plaintiff-appellant.

Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria LLP, Buffalo (Bridget M. O'Connell of counsel), for defendant-respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Niagara County (Ralph A. Boniello, III, J.), entered January 25, 2008. The order denied the request of plaintiff Judith Diane Noel for maintenance.

It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: Contrary to the contention of Judith Diane Noel (plaintiff), Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in adopting the report and decision of the Matrimonial Referee declining to award her maintenance (see generally Holmes v Holmes, 25 AD3d 931, 932 [2006]). The Matrimonial Referee properly determined, after considering the predivorce standard of living as well as the other factors set forth in Domestic Relations Law § 236 (B) (6) (a), that an award of maintenance to plaintiff was not warranted (see Boardman v Boardman, 300 AD2d 1110 [2002]). Present—Scudder, P.J., Smith, Peradotto, Carni and Green, JJ.
