Opinion
November 19, 1997
(Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Erie County, Glownia, J. — Discovery.)
Present — Denman, P. J., Hayes, Callahan and Fallon, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly denied defendant's motion to compel plaintiff to appear for an orthopedic examination. The motion was made after the filing of a note of issue and statement of readiness, and defendant failed to demonstrate "special, unusual or extraordinary circumstances warranting further discovery" (Peterson v. Zuercher, 198 A.D.2d 797; see, Stella v. Ahmed, 223 A.D.2d 698; Strauss v. New York Ethical Culture Socy., 210 A.D.2d 134).
