Except to the extent protected by court order, upon demand to produce by the presentment agency, the respondent shall disclose and make available for inspection, photography, copying or testing, subject to constitutional limitations:(a) any written report or document, or portion thereof, concerning a physical examination, or scientific test, experiment, or comparison, made by or at the request or direction of, the respondent, if the respondent intends to introduce such report or document at a hearing, or if the respondent has filed a notice of defense of mental disease or defect pursuant to section 335.1 and such report or document relates thereto, or if such report or document was made by a person, other than respondent, whom respondent intends to call as a witness at a hearing; and(b) any photograph, drawing, tape or other electronic recording which the respondent intends to introduce at a hearing.4. Except to the extent protected by court order, upon demand to produce by the presentment agency, a respondent who has served a written notice, under section 335.1, of intention to rely upon the defense of mental disease or defect shall disclose and make available for inspection, photography, copying or testing, subject to constitutional limitations, any written report or document, or portion thereof, concerning a mental examination made by or at the request or direction of the respondent.5. The respondent shall make a diligent good faith effort to make such property available for discovery pursuant to subdivisions three and four where it exists but the property is not within his possession, custody or control, provided that the respondent shall not be required to obtain by subpoena duces tecum demanded material that the presentment agency may thereby obtain.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions one through five, the presentment agency or the respondent, as the case may be, may refuse to disclose any information which he reasonably believes is not discoverable by a demand to produce, or for which he reasonably believes a protective order pursuant to section 331.5 would be warranted. Such refusal shall be made in writing, which shall set forth the grounds of such belief as fully as possible, consistent with the objective of the refusal. The writing shall be served upon the demanding party and a copy shall be filed with the court.N.Y. Family Court Law § 331.2
