Cuccia v. General Electric Company

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jul 21, 1983
96 A.D.2d 488 (N.Y. App. Div. 1983)

Opinion

July 21, 1983

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Klein, J.), entered on March 25, 1983, which denied the motion by defendant-appellant General Electric Company for clarification, rehearing and/or reargument, is dismissed as nonappealable, without costs.


Order of the Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Klein, J.), entered on February 17, 1983 is reversed, on the law and the facts and in the exercise of discretion, with costs and disbursements, and the notice of discovery stricken, without prejudice to serve a proper and sufficiently specific notice after depositions have been taken. The discovery requested is overly broad. Moreover, the proper procedure under the present circumstances is for plaintiffs first to depose defendant and then specify the needed documents.
