Application dismissed because plaintiff failed to establish necessity and jurisdictional requirements for pre-action discovery and Norwich Pharmacal relief: plaintiff can identify officers sufficiently by description and serve proceedings at police HQ, affidavit did not show Commissioner likely to be a party, plaintiff lacked a good arguable case on the merits and disclosure would create real doxxing risk; relief would be disproportionate and impermissibly fishing.
