OPINION OF THE COURT

Robert E. Fischer, J.

In this negligence action, defendants County of Broome and Thompson move for a protective order (CPLR 3103) upon plaintiffs’ demand for copies of accident reports.

Utilizing the statutory language, defendants assert generally — without singular reference — that the reports sought are “materials prepared for litigation” not obtainable by reason of the specific exclusion contained in CPLR 3101 (subd [d], par 2) and urge that the notice to produce lacks “reasonable particularity” in any event (CPLR 3120, subd [a], par 1, cl [i]).
