Joseph v. Roller Castle

In Joseph v. Roller Castle, 100 AD2d 839, 839, 473 N.Y.S.2d 836 (2d 1984), however, the Appellate Division, Second Department, considered the fact that appellants had conceded that upon further searching they found some of the discovery sought and will provide them to the appellee (Id.). The Court therefore held that "in such circumstances" a balancing of the interests should result in allowing one more opportunity (Id.). Notably, the Joseph Court did not find their conduct to be willful and contumacious as prior court orders had not been ignored in stark contrast to the case at bar. Nonetheless, the appellants in Joseph were given strict deadlines to comply with outstanding discovery (Id.).
