Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding, the court grants respondent's motion to amend the answer and for discovery, but limits discovery to documents going back to 2011 (not 1988 as requested), on the illegal deregulation issue. Despite the court's acknowledgment of numerous strong facts establishing a colorable claim of fraud, it appears that Judge Cohen granted discovery only on the illegal deregulation issue and not on the rent overcharge claim.
