Can a defendant inspect a police analysis report of a drug seized from him by police?

The recent case of People v. Perrell, 47 Misc.2d 1024, 263 N.Y.S.2d 640, allowed defendant to inspect certain narcotics taken from him by the police but denied him the right to inspect police analysis reports of the same narcotics. Thus the traditional discovery boundaries are kept by denying what is analogous to an attorney's work product in civil cases, while allowing, in the interests of justice, an inspection of a tangible, competent evidentiary item taken from defendant as an incident to the crime charged.
