Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

199 A.D.2d 222 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

606 N.Y.S.2d 7

Opinion

December 30, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Alice Schlesinger, J.).

Dismissal of the complaint is appropriate when a plaintiff repeatedly and willfully disobeys the court's successive discovery orders (Kogan v Royal Indem. Co., 179 A.D.2d 399). Since plaintiff herein repeatedly failed to appear at scheduled depositions, it was not an abuse of discretion for the court to dismiss the complaint.
