Synopsis

In a nonpayment case, the court denied the tenant's motion to compel discovery, finding it moot because the landlord had produced the requested water tests in its opposition papers. The court also denied the tenant's separate request for further discovery, citing a prior stipulation between the parties. That stipulation mandated that the tenant withdraw her discovery motion if the landlord made a specific representation about the lack of other water quality complaints, which the landlord did. The court held that the parties are bound by the plain language of their stipulation.
