DeLuca v. CBS Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 19, 1984
105 A.D.2d 770 (N.Y. App. Div. 1984)

Opinion

November 19, 1984

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (McInerney, J.).


Order reversed, without costs or disbursements, and motion granted to the extent that the action is transferred from Suffolk County to Queens County.

In view of the fact that the plaintiff is a resident Supreme Court Justice of Suffolk County, we believe that the protection of the court's reputation from the slightest suspicion as to the fairness of the proceedings requires a change of venue of this defamation action from Suffolk County to Queens County, where the ends of justice will be served without any undue inconvenience to the parties or their witnesses ( Burstein v Greene, 61 A.D.2d 827; Arkwright v Steinbugler, 283 App. Div. 397; Seifert v McLaughlin, 15 A.D.2d 555). Mangano, J.P., Gibbons, O'Connor and Brown, JJ., concur.
