Opinion
December 10, 1996.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Stephen Crane, J.), entered on July 11, 1995, which denied defendant's motion for a change of venue to Essex County, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Before: Milonas, J.P., Ellerin, Rubin, Kupferman and Nardelli, JJ.
The motion was properly denied, defendant having failed to comply with the requirements of CPLR 511 (b) necessary to preserve his right to a change of venue under CPLR 510 (1). Further, defendant offered no other reason for changing venue except his own inconvenience, which showing was patently insufficient ( see, Rosenthal v Bologna, 211 AD2d 436, 437; Cardona v Aggressive Heating, 180 AD2d 572, 573; Coles v La-Guardia Med. Group, 161 AD2d 166).
