Opinion
December 27, 2000.
Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Erie County, Glownia, J. — Judiciary Law.
PRESENT: HAYES, J.P., HURLBUTT, SCUDDER, KEHOE AND LAWTON, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed with costs.
Memorandum:
Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion for recusal. "Where, as here, there is no allegation that recusal is statutorily required ( see, Judiciary Law § 14), the matter of recusal is addressed to the discretion and personal conscience of the Justice whose recusal is sought" ( Matter of Card v. Siragusa, 214 A.D.2d 1022, 1023).
