Weg & Myers, P.C., New York (Joshua L. Mallin of counsel), for appellant.

Fleischner Potash LLP, New York (Gil M. Coogler of counsel), for respondents.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Tanya R. Kennedy, J.), entered on March 28, 2019, which denied plaintiff‘s request for information about defendant‘s handling of its other insureds’ losses resulting from Superstorm Sandy, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court properly denied plaintiff‘s request to compel disclosure of information about defendants’ handling of its other insureds’ losses resulting from Superstorm Sandy. The requested discovery is not material and necessary to the prosecution of the claims in this action (see CPLR 3101[a]; Gray v Tri-State Consumer Ins. Company, 157 AD3d 938, 940-941 [2d Dept 2018]; Diaz v City of New York, 140 AD3d 826 [2d Dept 2016]).

We have considered plaintiff‘s remaining arguments and find them unavailing.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: DECEMBER 26, 2019
