Opinion
2003-1181 KC.
Decided June 30, 2004.
Appeal by defendants from an order of the Civil Court, Kings County (E. Prus, J.), entered June 25, 2003, denying their motion to strike plaintiff's pleadings, dismiss the action and enter a default judgment in their favor on the counterclaims.
Order unanimously modified by providing that defendants' motion is denied on condition that plaintiff comply with defendants' discovery demands in accordance with this decision within 30 days of the date of the order hereon; otherwise defendants' motion is granted dismissing plaintiff's action and awarding judgment in defendants' favor on the counterclaims; as so modified, affirmed without costs.
PRESENT: PESCE, P.J., ARONIN and PATTERSON, JJ.
Upon a review of the record, we find that plaintiff did not provide responsive answers to defendants' interrogatories numbered 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19 and "Second Items" numbered 15, 16 and 17, nor did it properly comply with defendants' requests for documents numbered 8, 10, 12, 14 and 15. Under the circumstances, plaintiff should be provided with a final opportunity to do so.
