Supreme Court, Appellate Division,
Second Department, New York.
Thomas J. HARTIGAN, as Trustee of The Twenty-Seven Trust, Respondent,
v.
ACME MARKETS, INC., Appellant.
June 20, 1983
**376 Dreyer & Traub, New York City (Samuel Kirschenbaum and Richard E.
Hershenson, New York City, of counsel), for appellant. Kermit J. Casscells,
Staten Island, for respondent.
In an action to recover gas utility charges due under a lease, defendant
appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Hurowitz, J.),
dated June 22, 1982, which denied its *825 motion for a protective order. Order
modified, by adding to the decretal paragraph thereof following the word "is"
the words "granted to the extent of vacating plaintiff's notice to produce dated
February 9, 1982, and is otherwise". As so modified, order affirmed, without
costs or disbursements. Inasmuch as almost none of the items sought in
plaintiff's notice to produce is identified with the particularity required by
CPLR **377 3120 (subd. [a], par. 1, cl. [i] ) (Ganin v. Janow, 86 A.D.2d 857,
858, 447 N.Y.S.2d 325), this court will not attempt to "prune" plaintiff's list
but will instead strike the entire notice (cf. Carroad v. Regensburg, 17 A.D.2d
734, 232 N.Y.S.2d 306). Plaintiff's notice for discovery and inspection of
defendant's premises, however, was proper under CPLR 3120 (subd. [a], par. 1,
cl. [ii] ).
GULOTTA, J.P., and O'CONNOR, WEINSTEIN and RUBIN, JJ., concur.
464 N.Y.S.2d 376 (Mem), 95 A.D.2d 824
