FAILURE TO OBJECT TO DISCOVERY DEMANDS REQUIRED THAT THE COURT GRANT THE MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the defendant’s failure to object to plaintiff’s discovery demands required the court to grant plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery:

​

A defendant’s failure to make a timely challenge to a plaintiff’s document demand pursuant to CPLR 3122(a)(1) forecloses inquiry into the propriety of the information sought except with regard to material that is privileged pursuant to CPLR 3101 or requests that are palpably improper … . Here, the defendant City of New York did not object to the plaintiff’s requests for discovery dated February 4, 2014, and February 12, 2015, respectively, within the required time period, and it failed to either asserted a valid privilege or establish that the demands were palpably improper.

Accordingly, the Supreme Court erred in denying the plaintiff’s motion to compel the City to comply with those requests for discovery.  Recine v City of New York, 2017 NY Slip Op 08870, Second Dept 12-20-17
