Opinion

In a claim, inter alia, to recover damages for assault and *768 battery, the claimants appeal from an order of the Court of Claims (DeBow, J.), dated March 6, 2013, which, after an in camera inspection, denied their motion to compel disclosure of documents that the defendant withheld on the ground that the documents were privileged under the Education Law.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Since the defendant met its burden of demonstrating that the documents in dispute were privileged quality assurance documents prepared in accordance with Education Law § 6527 (3) and Mental Hygiene Law § 29.29, the Court of Claims properly denied, after an in camera inspection, the claimants’ motion to compel disclosure of those documents (see Stephen v State of New York, 117 AD3d 821, 822 [2014]; Szmania v State of New York, 82 AD3d 1688, 1689 [2011]).

The claimants’ remaining contentions are without merit.

Dillon, J.P., Leventhal, Sgroi and Hinds-Radix, JJ., concur.
