DIBBLE v. CONSOLIDATED RAIL CORPORATION

Order unanimously modified on the law and as modified affirmed without costs in accordance with the following Memorandum: The order is modified by deleting the provision granting third-party defendant's motion to compel plaintiff to provide authorization for all of plaintiff's workers' compensation records and medical records. The CPLR does not contain any provision that would allow third-party defendant to obtain authorization from plaintiff to allow it access to plaintiff's workers' compensation records (see, CPLR 3102 [a]; see also, Hinrichs v Tonnssen, 128 Misc.2d 196; Bennett v Martoche, 123 Misc.2d 874, 876).
