Opinion

July 6, 1998

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Jackson, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in declining to strike the defendants' answers in light of the ultimate compliance with the court-ordered discovery by the defendant City of New York ( see, Smith v. New York Tel. Co., 235 A.D.2d 529).
