19 F.R.D. 361 | S.D.N.Y. | 1956
Plaintiffs’ objection to defendants’ motion for production of certain
Defendants’ motion is granted in its entirety.
Plaintiffs’ similar motion for discovery and production is denied, as being premature, in view of the priority established by defendants. Holt v. The James Sheridan, D.C.S.D.N.Y.1961, 12 F.R.D. 72. See Jackmann v. Marine Office of America, D.C., 16 F.R.D. 381.
The dismissal of plaintiffs’ motion is without prejudice and without any intimation as to the ultimate merits of plaintiffs’ motion. However, it is my view that, when and if plaintiffs should renew their motion, they should restate in detail and with particularity the items they request; from which defendants they are requesting the respective items; and how discovery and production of the requested items is justifiable against the background of what plaintiffs expect to prove at the trial and in light of the requirements of Rule 34.
