In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hutcherson, J.), dated May 30, 2002, as denied those branches of his motion which were to strike the answer of the defendant City of New York, or, in the alternative, to compel certain disclosure from that defendant.
Michael Joseph J. Barnas, New York, N.Y., for appellant.
Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York, N.Y. (Larry A. Sonnenshein and Julie Steiner of counsel; Ajay Chanayil on the brief), for respondent.
Before: MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, HOWARD MILLER, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying that branch of the plaintiff's motion which was to compel the production of maintenance and other requested records that postdated the plaintiff's accident (see Watson v. FHE Servs., 257 A.D.2d 618; Cleland v. 60-02 Woodside Corp., 221 A.D.2d 307, 308; cf. DeRoche v. Methodist Hosp. of Brooklyn, 249 A.D.2d 438, 439).
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
ALTMAN, J.P., KRAUSMAN, GOLDSTEIN, H. MILLER and CRANE, JJ., concur.
