Yatter v. William Morris Agency, Inc. (273 A.D.2d 83, 2000)

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles Ramos, J.), entered February 22, 2000, which, insofar as appealed from, granted defendant’s motion for a protective order, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Discovery was properly limited to information material and necessary to the prosecution of plaintiffs claim, and properly conditioned upon plaintiffs execution of a confidentiality agreement upon a showing of defendant’s legitimate interest in keeping the financial affairs of itself and its clients private (see, Dawson v White & Case, 184 AD2d 246). We have considered plaintiffs various objections to the proposed confidentiality agreement and find them unavailing. Concur — Rosenberger, J. P., Nardelli, Ellerin, Andrias and Saxe, JJ.
