Before: Manzanet-Daniels, J.P., Gische, Kern, Mazzarelli, JJ.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Laurence L. Love, J.), entered July 1, 2020, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied in part plaintiff's CPLR 3124 motion to compel discovery, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in precluding plaintiff from seeking discovery duplicative of discovery had in a prior federal action, while permitting discovery, consistent with the parties' stipulation to rely on discovery from the federal action and, to the extent practicable, not to duplicate it (see Youwanes v Steinbrech, 193 A.D.3d 492, 492 [1st Dept 2021]; International Plaza Assoc., L.P. v Lacher, 104 A.D.3d 578, 578 [1st Dept 2013]).
