Application dismissed because plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of existence and relevance for the broad categories sought and failed to show the documents were in defendant's possession; requests were overly wide, amounted to fishing and oppressive, and defendant's sworn accounts of non-possession or privilege were dispositive at interlocutory stage; accordingly no specific discovery ordered and costs awarded to defendant.
