DECISION and ORDER

GERACE, J.

Defendants seek to examine a diary kept by plaintiff,

presumably at the suggestion of his attorney. The Court

reviewed the diary in camera. It falls within the category

of undiscoverable work product. Defendant may not examine

it.

If plaintiff needs it to refresh his recollection at

deposition or trial, defendant will have an opportunity at

that time.

THIS IS THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THIS COURT.

Dated: October , 1995

Mayville, New York
