249 A.D.2d 248 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

671 N.Y.S.2d 653

Opinion

April 30, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Jane Solomon, J.).

Defendant's alleged good faith efforts are belied by its repeated failure to produce the witness for any of the three court-ordered deposition dates spanning a period of two years ( see, Periphery Loungewear v. Kantron Roofing Corp., 214 A.D.2d 438), and its excuses are insufficient to establish a reasonable basis for its noncompliance ( see, Furniture Fantasy v. Cerrone, 154 A.D.2d 506).
