STEPHEN R. WILLIAMS et al., Appellants, v. VILLAGE OF ENDICOTT et al., Defendants, and ENDICOTT SERTOMA CLUB, Respondent.

Plaintiffs' only contention on appeal is that Supreme Court erred by granting the summary judgment motion of defendant Endicott Sertoma Club before plaintiffs had the opportunity to depose a representative of Endicott. A review of the record reveals, however, that there is absolutely no reason to believe that further discovery would turn up any basis for liability against Endicott. Although CPLR 3212 (f) permits an opposing party to obtain further discovery, it should not be used when, as here, there has been a failure to demonstrate that the discovery being sought is anything more than a fishing expedition to explore the possibility of a cause of action.

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, White, Casey and Weiss, JJ., concur. Ordered that the order and judgment are affirmed, with costs.
