Richter, J.P., Gische, Tom, Gesmer, Moulton, JJ.
Order, Family Court, New York County (J. Machelle Sweeting, J.), entered on or about May 15, 2018, which dismissed petitioner father's petition to modify a prior order of custody with prejudice, and directed that petitioner must obtain leave of the court before filing any future petitions, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The father failed to make the required evidentiary showing of changed circumstances warranting a modification of custody or a hearing (see Matter of Patricia C. v. Bruce L., 46 A.D.3d 399, 848 N.Y.S.2d 102 [1st Dept. 2007] ). Furthermore, the record shows that the court providently exercised its discretion in directing the father to obtain leave of court before filing any future petitions (see Matter of Molinari v. Tuthill, 59 A.D.3d 722, 723, 875 N.Y.S.2d 495 [2d Dept. 2009] ).
