Opinion
December 19, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Stanley Green, J.).
In light of the fact that the cause of action herein arose in Suffolk County, that many of the defendant's liability witnesses reside in Suffolk County and since the defense is likely to request that the jury view the press brake, located in Suffolk County, which allegedly caused the personal injuries, the IAS Court properly exercised its discretion in granting the motion and transferring venue to Suffolk County ( see, e.g., Clinton v Griffin, 176 A.D.2d 501; and see, Soufan v Argo Pneumatic Co., 170 A.D.2d 289).
We have considered plaintiff's other claims and find them to be without merit.
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Rosenberger, Ross, Nardelli and Mazzarelli, JJ.
