Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen Bransten, J.).
Defendants motion to compel plaintiff to provide an authorization for records of counseling sessions was properly denied since defendant has failed to demonstrate the relevance of such records in an action for legal malpractice alleging a failure to take proper steps to enforce plaintiff's parental rights ( see, 239 A.D.2d 109). Defendant's motion to compel plaintiff to respond to his second set of interrogatories was also properly denied in light of the duplicative nature of the questions. Further, we see no reason to disturb the motion courts conclusion that all discovery (other than examinations before trial) has been appropriately provided by plaintiff. We have considered defendants other contentions and find them to be without merit.
