New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Fritzlet Tissois

July 6, 198872 N.Y.2d 75

Summary

The Court affirmed the appellate division's denial of the defendant's request for the social worker's interview notes, holding that the statutory privilege under CPLR 4508 supersedes the People v Rosario obligation to produce pretrial statements, and that People v De Jesus does not require reversal because the privilege was properly asserted.
