In re Nassau County Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum Dated June 24, 2003

In a proceeding pursuant to CELR 2304 to quash or limit a grand jury subpoena duces tecum, the petitioners appeal from an order of the County Court, Nassau County (Brown, J.), dated September 22, 2003, which denied the application.

Contrary to the appellants’ contention, under the circumstances, compliance with the subpoena would not violate their state constitutional privilege against compulsory self-incrimination (see Beilis v United States, 417 US 85 , 88, 101 [1974]; People v Doe, 59 NY2d 655 [1983]; see also Matter of Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum Dated, Dec. 14, 1984, Y., M.D., P.C. v Kuriansky, 69 NY2d 232 , 242 [1987], cert denied sub nom. Y & X v Kuriansky, 482 US 928 [1987]; Henry v Lewis, 102 AD2d 430 , 433 [1984]), or their right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures (see Matter of Grand Jury Subpoenas for Locals 17, 135, 257 & 608 of United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners of Am., AFL-CIO, 72 NY2d 307 , 315-317 [1988], cert denied 488 US 966 [1988]; Matter of Hynes v Moskowitz, 44 NY2d 383 , 394-395 [1978]). Moreover, under the circumstances, requiring the appellants to comply with the subpoena would not cause them to violate the attorney-client privilege (see Matter of Priest v Hennessy, 51 NY2d 62 , 69-71 [1980]).

The appellants’ remaining contentions are without merit. Florio, J.P., Smith, Crane and Rivera, JJ., concur.
