Opinion
March 13, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Steuben County, Scudder, J. — Venue.)
Present — Denman, P. J., Hayes, Balio, Boehm and Fallon, JJ.
Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and motion denied. Memorandum: In support of his motion for a discretionary change of venue, defendant failed to set forth the complete addresses of prospective witnesses and their occupations and to describe the testimony he expected each of those witnesses to provide (see, Zinker v. Zinker, 185 A.D.2d 698; see also, Abbadonza v. Brown, 186 A.D.2d 1011). Thus, it was an improvident exercise of discretion for Supreme Court to grant the motion (see, O'Brien v. Vassar Bros. Hosp., 207 A.D.2d 169, 171-172; see also, Pillittere v. Ted Ann Tours, 244 A.D.2d 1006).
