Opinion
February 4, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Wolf, Jr., J.
Present — Pine, J.P., Balio, Fallon, Doerr and Davis, JJ.
Order unanimously reversed on the law with costs, motion denied and cross motion granted. Memorandum: Defendant failed to demonstrate special, unusual and extraordinary circumstances sufficient to authorize Supreme Court to permit defendant to conduct a physical examination of the injured plaintiff David A. Kerr more than five months after filing of the note of issue and statement of readiness (see, Laudico v. Sears, Roebuck Co., 125 A.D.2d 960; Levine v. McFarland, 98 A.D.2d 795, 796). Under the circumstances, Supreme Court should have denied defendant's motion and should have granted plaintiffs' cross motion for a protective order.
