Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Louis L. Nock, J.), entered February 20, 2020, which granted plaintiff's motion to compel the production of documents, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court providently exercised its discretion in granting plaintiff's motion to compel the production of documents. The documents sought by plaintiff are "material and necessary" to the claims and defenses asserted in this action ( CPLR 3101[a] ; see State of N.Y., City of N.Y. ex rel. Campagna v. Post Integrations, Inc., 168 A.D.3d 647, 93 N.Y.S.3d 281 [1st Dept. 2019] ), and are consistent with the prior court order issued in this case which contemplated such discovery.
We have considered defendant's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
