<p>POINTS OF COUNSEL</p> <p>I. A party may properly employ the Freedom of Information Law to examine public records even if it anticipates, or is actually engaged in, litigation with the public agency.

Auth., 73 AD2d 518; Brady & Co. v City of New York, 84 AD2d 113.) II.

(Matter of Zanger v Chinlund, 106 Mise 2d 86; Matter of Johnson Newspaper Corp. v Stainkamp, 94 AD2d 825.)</p> <p>I. The court below properly dismissed petitioner’s demand for documents under the Freedom of Information Law. Petitioner may not employ FOIL to obtain documents for its private contract action which it would be barred from receiving under the discovery provisions of the CPLR. Moreover, the documents in the remaining categories of the FOIL request are exempt from disclosure as inter- or intra-agency materials under FOIL. (Arzuaga v New York City Tr. Auth., 73 AD2d 518; Brady & Co. v City of New York, 84 AD2d 113, 56 NY2d 711; Matter v Unemployment Ins.
