Opinion

April 6, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Harold Tompkins, J.).

The records of certain of plaintiff husband's treatment some two and a half years before the accident, are not material and necessary to the loss of consortium claim or defenses thereto. Even if they were, the interests of justice do not significantly outweigh the need for confidentiality in the circumstances. We have considered defendant-appellant's other arguments and find them to be meritless.
