Opinion
June 5, 1989
Appeal from the Family Court, Dutchess County (Bernhard, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, without costs or disbursements, the motion is granted, and the subpoenas are quashed.
The subpoenas served by the mother to compel various nonparty witnesses employed by the appellant to appear at depositions do not contain nor were they accompanied by a notice stating the "circumstances or reasons such disclosure is * * * required" (CPLR 3101 [a] [4]). Accordingly, the subpoenas were facially defective and may not be enforced (see, Bigman v. Dime Sav. Bank, 138 A.D.2d 438; Pavia v. 810 Broadway Assocs., 130 Misc.2d 1054). Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Eiber, Spatt and Balletta, JJ., concur.
