8 A.D.3d 153 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

3989N.

Decided June 22, 2004.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Alice Schlesinger, J.), entered on or about October 31, 2003, which, in an action for property loss allegedly caused by defendants' negligent failure to provide security for an apartment house in which plaintiff resided, denied defendants' motion pursuant to CPLR 3120(b) to compel nonparty respondents, District Attorney of New York County and Police Department of the City of New York, to produce copies of all documents, sealed pursuant to CPL 160.50, pertaining to the investigation, arrest and trial of the person acquitted of robbing plaintiff, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Simmons, Jannace Stagg, L.L.P., East Meadow (Daniel P. Gregory of counsel), for appellants.

Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Richard Nahas of counsel), for respondents.

Before: Buckley, P.J., Tom, Saxe, Sullivan, Friedman, JJ.


The motion was properly denied because defendants are not among the specific parties or institutions listed in CPL 160.50(1)(d) as entitled to obtain a copy of a sealed criminal record, and also because the motion court did not have jurisdiction over the criminal matter ( see Wilson v. City of New York, 240 A.D.2d 266, 267). We have considered defendants' other arguments and find them unavailing.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
