DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court did not err in quashing the subpoenas served on the defendant's expert witnesses, as the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that "special circumstances" existed warranting the depositions of the defendant's experts ( see, CPLR 3101[d][1][iii]; 232 Broadway Corp. v. New York Prop. Ins. Underwriting Assn., 171 A.D.2d 861).
