Opinion
December 2, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Rosenblatt, J.).
Order reversed, insofar as appealed from, with costs, order dated September 20, 1984 vacated, plaintiffs' motion denied, and respondents' cross motion granted. Plaintiffs' time to comply with respondents' request for authorizations is extended until 20 days after service upon them of a copy of the order to be made hereon, with notice of entry.
Plaintiffs cannot prevent disclosure by averring that the doctors and hospital which are the subject of the request for authorizations had no connection with the accident. Should the records be found upon examination to be immaterial, respondents will not be able to use them at trial (see, Braynard v Morgan, 50 A.D.2d 810). Lazer, J.P., Thompson, O'Connor, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
