Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 6, 2012 (Herbenson v. Carrols Corp.)

Lahtinen, J.

We affirm. It is a “well-settled principle that the trial court has broad discretion in supervising disclosure and in granting protective orders limiting or denying discovery” (Matter of Andrews v Trustco Bank, Natl. Assn., 289 AD2d 910, 912-913 [2001] [internal quotation marks and citation omitted]; accord Fox v Fox, 309 AD2d 1056, 1057 [2003]).
