Greene v. Hillcrest General Hospital

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 18, 1987
130 A.D.2d 621 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

May 18, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Scholnick, J.).


Ordered that the order is reversed, with costs, and the motion is denied.

A motion to change venue for the convenience of witnesses must be supported by a statement naming the witnesses involved, that they have agreed to testify and what their testimony might be. Absent such a showing, such a motion should be denied (see, Brevetti v. Roth, 114 A.D.2d 877, 878-879). The respondents have not satisfied this burden and, accordingly, reversal is required. Mangano, J.P., Eiber, Kunzeman and Harwood, JJ., concur.
