Opinion

November 21, 1994

Appeal from the Court of Claims (Benza, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Upon our in camera review of the requested document, we find that the Court of Claims properly determined that the inter-agency report of the Department of Transportation is irrelevant to the subject matter of the claim and privileged under CPLR 3101 (b) (see, Cirale v. 80 Pine St. Corp., 35 N.Y.2d 113, 117-118; Matter of Schwartz, 130 Misc.2d 786; see also, Public Officers Law § 87 [g]; O'Shaughnessy v. New York State Div. of State Police, 202 A.D.2d 508; Matter of Rome Sentinel Co. v. City of Rome, 174 A.D.2d 1005, 1006; Matter of Town of Oyster Bay v. Williams, 134 A.D.2d 267).
