Opinion
January 26, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Rappaport, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs.
While CPLR 3101 (a) provides for full disclosure of all matter material and necessary in the prosecution or defense of an action, unlimited disclosure is not required, and supervision of disclosure is generally left to the sound discretion of the trial court ( see, City of Mount Vernon v. Lexington Ins. Co., 232 A.D.2d 358). In light of the fact that the appellants have not made a showing that the records at issue even exist, the Supreme Court properly granted the plaintiffs' motion for a protective order ( see, Fascaldi v. Fascaldi, 209 A.D.2d 578).
Miller, J.P., Ritter, Sullivan, Santucci and McGinity, JJ., concur.
