SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Higgitt, J.P., Brigantti, Hagler, JJ.
570140/20
against
MVAIC, Defendant-Appellant.
Defendant, as limited by its briefs, appeals from so much of an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Myrna Socorro, J.), entered on or about July 3, 2019, which granted, in part, plaintiff's motion to compel discovery.
Per Curiam.
Order (Myrna Socorro, J.), entered on or about July 3, 2019, affirmed, with $10 costs.
Where a party fails to timely object to discovery demands within the 20-day period prescribed by CPLR article 31 (see CPLR 3122[a]; 3133[a]), appellate review is limited to determining whether the requested material is privileged under CPLR 3101 or the demand is palpably improper (see Khatskevich v Victor, 184 AD3d 504 [2020]; Jefferson v State of New York, 60 AD3d 1215 [2009]). Here, defendant did not timely object to plaintiff's discovery demands, including the interrogatories and notice for discovery and inspection, and, in fact, ignored them until plaintiff moved to compel compliance several months later. Since defendant did not argue below that the discovery requested was privileged or that the requests were palpably improper, we have no cause to disturb Civil Court's grant of plaintiff's motion to compel (see Precision Chiropractic, PC v MVAIC, 67 Misc 3d 126[A], 2020 NY Slip Op 50359[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2020]).
