1Opinion of the Court
Millard L. Midonick, S.
This is a motion to compel C. *520Douglas Webb, the attorney who prepared decedent’s will which has been admitted to probate, to answer certain questions propounded to him during a pretrial examination concerning matters which he claims are privileged.
The court previously directed attorney Webb to appear for oral examination and stated that any objections on the ground of attorney-client privilege be raised at that time. (NYLJ, Nov. 21, 1975, p 6, col 4.) The Appellate Division affirmed for the reasons stated in this court’s decision (52 AD2d 767).
