   Order unanimously modified in accordance with memorandum and, as modified, affirmed, with costs to respondents. Memorandum: Plaintiffs’ CPLR 3111 production request items and CPLR 3101 examination-scope request items are within the guideline principles expressed in Avco Security Corp. v Post (42 AD2d 395), and cases cited therein, and Special Term’s order, granting plaintiffs’ requested production of discovery Items Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 30, 32, 33, 35, 37 (as therein limited), 38 and 39, as well as examination request Items Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28 and 29, and denial of discovery Item No. 39, was in all respects proper.
