Matter of Alexanian v. City of New York

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

184 A.D.2d 452 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

June 30, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Alfred Toker, J.).


Contrary to petitioner's contentions, the IAS court did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner's application. The order, which incorporated a prior agreement between the parties, did not authorize additional individuals access to the documents which respondents had agreed to supply petitioner. The order clearly complies with Public Officers Law § 89 (3), which provides, inter alia, that an entity subject to its provisions, in receipt of a "written request for a record reasonably described, shall make such record available to the person requesting it." Further, petitioner is not aggrieved by the order inasmuch as respondents are willing to provide him with ample opportunity to view a large number of documents over several visits to their office. Moreover, the schedule provided by respondents, and agreed to by petitioner, is not "`irrational or unreasonable'", and thus should be upheld (Matter of Bernstein v Toia, 43 N.Y.2d 437, 448).

Petitioner's remaining arguments are both unpreserved and without merit.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Carro, Rosenberger and Rubin, JJ.
