Opinion

April 14, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Shirley Fingerhood, J.).

We agree with the IAS court that depositions would serve to facilitate the identification of documents sought by plaintiff, and should precede resort to discovery and inspection, particularly where, as here, the notice calls for production of "all" documents relating to broad categories of subject matters. (Cf., Related Cos. v Bishops Servs., 171 A.D.2d 421.)
