Plaintiffs, Mexican seasonal farm workers, commenced an action seeking damages for personal injuries from a motor vehicle accident and for breach of contract from an insurer failing to pay no-fault benefits. After leaving New York, plaintiffs moved for a protective order concerning depositions, requesting alternative methods due to hardship, which the Supreme Court denied while granting defendants' cross-motion for depositions in New York. The appellate court dismissed Ramon Moreno's appeal as moot since he had been deposed. For the remaining plaintiffs, the court affirmed the denial of the protective order, finding insufficient proof of undue hardship, but modified the order to extend the deposition deadline to December 31, 2001, in the interest of justice.
