Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Barry Salman, J.), entered June 17, 2010, which, to the extent appealed from, granted the motion of defendant nursing home and nonparty former nursing director to quash a subpoena seeking the deposition of the former nursing director, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court providently exercised its discretion in granting the motion, as plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the information sought from the former director could not be obtained from other sources, such as the nursing home's own records ( see Connolly v. Napoli, Kaiser & Bern, LLP, 81 A.D.3d 530, 531, 917 N.Y.S.2d 175 [2011]; Kooper v. Kooper, 74 A.D.3d 6, 15, 16–17, 901 N.Y.S.2d 312 [2010] ). In view of the foregoing, we need not determine whether the disclosure sought is material and necessary.
