MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Defendants Steven and Martin Sands' application to compel plaintiff's counsel to provide notice of the discovery being conducted by plaintiff's counsel in connection with his supplementary proceedings in New York State Supreme Court to enforce a judgment against Sands Brothers Co., Ltd. is denied.
It appears that Sands Brothers Co., Ltd. is owned by Steven and Martin Sands, and it further appears that the burden on Steven and Martin Sands of seeking copies of discovery requests from counsel for Sands Brothers Co., Ltd. as it is for plaintiff's counsel to send copies of discovery requests to counsel for Steven and Martin Sands in this action. Since Steven and Martin Sands can obtain notice of the discovery proceedings on their own and since the burden on Steven and Martin Sands of learning of the discovery proceedings through their own efforts is the same as the burden on plaintiff's counsel of providing notice, there is no reason to shift that burden to plaintiff's counsel.
SO ORDERED
