Morris v. Halik

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 1, 1991
172 A.D.2d 502 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

April 1, 1991

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


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Motions to transfer venue under CPLR 510 (3) are addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court and absent an improvident exercise of discretion, the trial court's order will not be disturbed on appeal (see, Feldman v. North Shore Univ. Hosp., 157 A.D.2d 831; Filler v. Cornell Univ., 147 A.D.2d 610). Under the circumstances of this case, we cannot conclude that the court improvidently exercised its discretion in transferring the venue of this action from Kings County to Monroe County. Bracken, J.P., Kooper, Lawrence, Balletta and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
