Opinion
May 1, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Molloy, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
We agree with the Supreme Court that the occasional use by the defendant Bruce Flashner, of an apartment in New York County, a use which is connected with his monthly business trips to New York from his home in Illinois, does not render Dr. Flashner a resident of New York County for venue purposes (see, CPLR 503 [a]; Katz v Siroty, 62 A.D.2d 1011; Hammerman v Louis Watch Co., 7 A.D.2d 817; Oelkers v Hulseberg, 200 Misc. 352, affd 279 App. Div. 669). Bracken, J.P., O'Brien, Santucci and Florio, JJ., concur.
