BERDON, J.,
dissenting. I would grant certification to appeal on the following issues: Whether the Appellate Court correctly affirmed the trial court’s decision denying (1) the defendant’s requests for production of the complainant’s psychiatric, psychological/social work/ therapy records; and (2) the defendant’s request for a continuance to permit the defendant to subpoena the out-of-state therapist whose records were sought by the *909defendant for purposes of cross-examining the victim regarding her capacity to relate the truth regarding her complaint.
Decided July 21, 1999
