DONNA RESNICK, Respondent, v. HARRY SCHWARZKOPF, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

"[T]he drastic remedy of striking a pleading pursuant to CPLR 3126 for failure to comply with court-ordered disclosure should be granted only where the conduct of the party is shown to be willful and contumacious" ( Russo v Tolchin, 35 AD3d 431, 434; see Prappas v Papadatos, 38 AD3d 871; Jenkins v City of New York, 13 AD3d 342, 343). The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in declining to dismiss the complaint since the plaintiff substantially, albeit tardily, provided the requested disclosure, and her conduct was not willful and contumacious ( see Maw son v Historic Props., LLC, 30 AD3d 480; Lombardo v St. Francis Hosp. Rehabilitation Servs., 16 AD3d 385).
