Court of Appeals of New York

Defendant's conviction of rape is affirmed, where: 1) in response to defendant's request for disclosure of the victim's mental health records, the trial court reviewed the records in camera and disclosed only a few records; and 2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding the records' relevance to be outweighed by the complainant's legitimate interest in confidentiality.
