Full title: In the Matter of JEROME LEWIS, Appellant, v. CHARLES J. HYNES, Respondent

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Oct 17, 1994

208 A.D.2d 731 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

617 N.Y.S.2d 369

Opinion

October 17, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Krausman, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The court acted properly in denying the petition to compel the respondent to disclose certain documents, since the respondent has produced or addressed all of the requested documents which he had in his possession (see, Public Officers Law § 89; Matter of Ahlers v. Dillon, 143 A.D.2d 225, 226; Matter of Adams v. Hirsch, 182 A.D.2d 583). With regard to the requested documents which the respondent has not yet produced, we note that the respondent has not denied the petitioner's request but has simply suggested that the petitioner narrow his list so as to expedite review and the production of the requested documents. Thompson, J.P., Miller, O'Brien, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
