On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed, with costs, and the certified question answered in the affirmative. We agree with the Appellate Division that Surrogate's Court did not abuse its discretion by setting a December *755 2009 deadline for the completion of discovery and limiting the identity and number of individuals to be deposed.
