Gorgoni v. Rapson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Oct 5, 1990
166 A.D.2d 901 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

October 5, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Onondaga County, Murphy, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Boomer, Green and Balio, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: The record fails to support appellant's contention that preaction discovery is necessary as an aid to bringing an action (see, CPLR 3102 [c]). There is no allegation or suggestion that anyone but the respondent engaged in any wrongful conduct, and the nature of potential causes of action is apparent from the allegations set forth in the moving papers. Preaction disclosure should not be permitted where, as here, the applicant has sufficient information to enable her to draft a complaint without the examination she seeks (L-Tron Corp. v. Davco Sys., 60 A.D.2d 25, 29). Under the circumstances, Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in denying the application.
