Opinion
February 28, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alan Saks, J.).
We find the IAS court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant Metro's motion to change venue as it is clear from the record that Metro has not adequately set forth the names and addresses of witnesses who would be inconvenienced by a change of venue, as well as their expected testimony, and how they would be inconvenienced by having to testify in Bronx County as opposed to Nassau County (see, Firoozan v Key Food Supermarket, 151 A.D.2d 334). Nor was it an abuse of discretion to deny the motion unconditionally, without granting leave to renew.
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Ross and Asch, JJ.
