Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Beatrice Shainswit, J.).
The claim that plaintiff was unable to remember the August 1988 incident underlying the action until late in 1990 implicitly concedes defendant College's point that an issue of fact exists as to the date on which plaintiff's causes of action against the College accrued. The conclusory assertion of repressed memory due to "posttraumatic neurosis" is insufficient to invoke the tolling provisions of CPLR 208 (Hoffman v. Hoffman, 162 A.D.2d 249, 250, citing McCarthy v. Volkswagen of Am., 55 N.Y.2d 543). Nor do plaintiff's conclusory assertions that defendant Reed resided in New York County when the action was commenced warrant retention of venue in that county (see, Morale v. La Grange Inn, 160 A.D.2d 783, 784).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
