In the Matter of Aurelius Capital Management, LP, Appellant,
v
Eric R. Dinallo, Superintendent of the State of New York Insurance Department, Respondent, and MBIA Inc., Intervenor-Respondent.

—[*1] Golenbock Eiseman Assor Bell & Peskoe LLP, New York (Jeffrey T. Golenbock of counsel), for appellant. Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, New York (Steven C. Wu of counsel), for State respondent. Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, New York (Jeremy Feigelson of counsel), for MBIA Inc., respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Alice Schlesinger, J.), entered January 16, 2009, denying the petition to annul respondent's determination that denied petitioner's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) application to compel respondent New York State Insurance Department to disclose certain information submitted to it by intervenor-respondent MBIA Inc., and dismissing the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court correctly determined that disclosure of the additional information sought would likely result in substantial competitive injury to MBIA (see Matter of Encore Coll. Bookstores v Auxiliary Serv. Corp. of State Univ. of N.Y. at Farmingdale, 87 NY2d 410 [1995]). Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Acosta, Renwick and Freedman, JJ.
