Witmer v. Biehls

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Sep 29, 1995
219 A.D.2d 870 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

September 29, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Whelan, J.

Present — Pine, J.P., Lawton, Wesley, Callahan and Doerr, JJ.


Order unanimously reversed on the law with costs and motion denied. Memorandum: Supreme Court improvidently exercised its discretion in granting defendant additional time to complete discovery. By demanding that plaintiff file a note of issue, with the concomitant necessity of filing a statement of readiness, defendant waived his right to further discovery. A demand for such filing is inconsistent with a demand for discovery (see, King v Milazzo, 155 A.D.2d 1000; Siragusa v Teal's Express, 96 A.D.2d 749, 750).
