Opinion
3270N.
Decided March 30, 2004.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Sheila Abdus-Salaam, J.), entered March 10, 2003, which, in an action for medical malpractice, granted defendant's motion to change venue to Richmond County, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Brian J. Isaac, Plaintiff-Appellant.
Frederick N. Gaffney, Defendant-Respondent.
Before: Buckley, P.J., Mazzarelli, Sullivan, Friedman, Gonzalez, JJ.
The motion was properly granted on the ground that defendant's affidavit sufficiently demonstrates that his principal office is located in Staten Island, where, we note, the alleged malpractice occurred ( see Pasley v. St. Agnes Hosp., 244 A.D.2d 469; Magrone v. Herzog, 304 A.D.2d 801). It does not avail plaintiff that defendant's letterhead and web site list his Manhattan address first, or that other medical-related web sites, including the New York State Directory of Physicians, provide only the Manhattan address ( cf. Kielczewski v. Pinnacle Restoration Corp., 226 A.D.2d 211).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
