CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

S. Miller, J. P., Thompson, Krausman, Florio and Schmidt, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the appeal from the order dated February 5, 1999, is dismissed, as no appeal lies from an order denying reargument; and it is further,

Ordered that the order dated November 16, 1998, is reversed, on the law, and the motion to compel disclosure is granted; and it is further,

Ordered that the appellant is awarded one bill of costs.
