Kaufman v. Kaufman

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 16, 1987
134 A.D.2d 407 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

November 16, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Glass, J.).


Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, with costs, and the husband's motion for a protective order pursuant to CPLR 3103 is granted without prejudice, if the plaintiff be so advised, to serve a proper disclosure demand, pursuant to CPLR 3111, which identifies the records and documents sought with reasonable detail.

The challenged request for documents is overly broad and oppressive, and seeks material which is not relevant as well as material which has already been produced. This blunderbuss approach will not be countenanced (see, Carella v. Carella, 97 A.D.2d 394; Barnes v. Barnes, 96 A.D.2d 894). Mangano, J.P., Brown, Lawrence, Weinstein and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
