[*1]Cindy Frey etc., et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants,

v

Steven Itzkowitz et al., Defendants-Respondents.

Alexander J. Wulwick, New York, for appellants.

Shaub, Ahmuty, Citrin & Spratt LLP, Lake Success (Christopher Simone of counsel), for respondents.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (George J. Silver, J.), entered on or about September 22, 2021, which, upon the parties' request for clarification of a prior order, same court and Justice, entered on or about May 15, 2020, and following in camera review, granted defendants' motion to compel to the extent of directing plaintiffs to produce certain licensing agreements subject to a confidentiality order, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The motion court providently exercised its discretion in directing plaintiffs to produce the licensing agreements. Plaintiffs' contention that defendants can obtain all necessary information from tax returns already disclosed does not require denial of

defendants' request for discovery of other potentially relevant documents.

We have considered plaintiffs' remaining arguments and find them unavailing.THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
