Per curiam, the appellate division finds that the lower court improperly ordered the defendants to respond to the second set of interrogatories for information identifying any gifts or transfers made to family members since 1998 in this suit seeking a judgment to declare plaintiff the sole owner and stockholder of the family business. This request is overly broad and burdensome, as the only relevant period is for gifts or transfers made in 2012. Reversed in part.

Chicago is granted a protective order on discovery related to certain affirmative defenses.
