June 5, 2000.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the defendants appeal from so much of (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Polizzi, J.), dated June 11, 1998, as, in effect, denied those branches of their motion which were for discovery of earnings, no-fault benefits, or Workers' Compensation benefits, and (2) an order of the same court, dated September 14, 1998, as denied their motion to direct the plaintiffs to provide an authorization permitting the defendants to obtain the plaintiffs' Social Security Disability records.
Cheven Keely Hatzis, New York, N.Y. (Thomas Torto of counsel), for appellants.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., FRED T. SANTUCCI, SONDRA MILLER, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the orders are affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in limiting the defendants' collateral source discovery (see generally, City of Mount Vernon v. Lexington Ins. Co., 232 A.D.2d 358).
