ALEXANDRA WOJTUSIAK, Respondent, v. SANTO ELARDO, Appellant.

Ordered that on the Court's own motion, the notice of appeal from so much of the order as denied that branch of the defendant's motion which was to compel the plaintiff to answer certain deposition questions is treated as an application for leave to appeal, and leave to appeal is granted ( see CPLR 5701 [b] [1]; Mayer v 486 Assoc., Inc., 35 AD3d 406); and it is further,

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly determined that the plaintiff's drug-treatment history was not subject to disclosure because her mental health was not at issue, and was not relevant or material for the purposes of discovery because it pertained to illnesses and treatments unrelated to the subject accident ( see Calendar v Mnasin, 23 AD3d 509; Cottrell v Weinstein, 270 AD2d 449, 449-450).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
