Markowitz v. Gourdine
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 5, 1984
105 A.D.2d 697; 481 N.Y.S.2d 318; 1984 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 20804
Markowitz v. Gourdine

Opinion of the Court

In a proceeding to quash subpoenas duces tecum, the appeal is from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Aronin, J.), dated June 17,1983, which, inter alia, granted the application.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.

Appellants have failed to demonstrate that many of the records demanded in the nonjudicial subpoenas herein bear a reasonable relationship to the subject matter of the investigation (see Myerson v Lentini Bros. Mov. & Stor. Co., 33 NY2d 250). The subpoenas are overbroad. Gibbons, J. P., O’Connor, Weinstein and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
