The opinion

Kapnick, J.

(concurring). I concur with the opinion of Justice Andrias. However, I disagree with his criticism and distrust of Mr. Muster and concern about Mr. Muster’s impartiality and/or conflict of interest in this proceeding. Nevertheless, despite the dissent’s protestations to the contrary, that issue, and the issue of whether Mr. Muster should have been appointed the full guardian or coguardian of Dr. Dworecki’s property, without limitation, are not before us on this appeal, and do not, in my *94 opinion, affect the ultimate conclusion reached by the majority upholding the imposition of sanctions by Supreme Court against Donald Citak.
