Mazarakis v. Bronxville Glen I Associates
Citations: 237 A.D.2d 494; 655 N.Y.S.2d 981; 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2860
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; March 23, 1997; New York; State Appellate Court
An appeal was made by defendants Bronxville Glen I Associates and several related entities regarding an order from the Supreme Court of Westchester County dated February 27, 1996. The appeal focused on the denial of certain discovery motions. The court affirmed the order, with costs, highlighting that the appellants were guilty of laches concerning their requests to depose specific individuals, including S. James Mazarakis and former Board members of the plaintiff Bronxville Glen I Condominium. Consequently, the Supreme Court's denial of these deposition requests was deemed appropriate. Additionally, the appellants' request for discovery from the plaintiffs' experts was denied due to a lack of demonstrated special circumstances, referencing a precedent case. Other arguments presented by the appellants were found to be without merit. Judges Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Ritter, and Copertino concurred with the decision.
