Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Andrea Masley, J.), entered December 5, 2017, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted the motion of defendants CBGB Festival, LLC and 315 Bowery Holdings, LLC to strike the amended complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court exercised its discretion in a provident manner in granting the motion to strike the complaint. The record demonstrates that plaintiff willfully and contumaciously failed to meaningfully comply with its discovery obligations as set forth in several court orders (see e.g. Eli Cabinetry, Inc. v. P.C. Consulting Mgt. Corp., 158 A.D.3d 482, 67 N.Y.S.3d 840 [1st Dept. 2018] ; Anron Heating & A.C., Inc. v. AMCC Corp., 133 A.D.3d 542, 19 N.Y.S.3d 414 [1st Dept. 2015] ; CPLR 3126[3] ).
