Parsons v. Hytech Tool & Die, Inc.

Order unanimously modified on the law and as modified affirmed without costs in accordance with the following Memorandum: Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in granting plaintiffs motion for a protective order preventing defendant’s expert from conducting a neuropsychological examination of plaintiff. Plaintiff demonstrated, as a matter of law, that defendant’s expert was objectionable {see, 22 NYCRR 202.17 [a]; Hagmeier v Consolidated Rail Corp., 154 AD2d 893 ; Casali v Phillips, 145 AD2d 941 , 942; Rosenblitt v Rosenblitt, 107 AD2d 292 , 295; cf., Turn-bull v Moulton, 72 Mise 2d 293, 295). The court abused its discretion, however, in denying defendant the opportunity to have a different expert conduct a neuropsychological examination of plaintiff. Thus, we modify the order accordingly.
