Opinion
July 1, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Orange County (Donovan, J.).
Order dated February 22, 1984, affirmed insofar as reviewed.
Plaintiffs are awarded one bill of costs.
Special Term properly denied defendant R.H. Crown Corp.'s cross motion for a change of venue. Absent "cogent reasons" to direct otherwise, the venue of a transitory action should be the county where the cause of action arose ( Chiappa v. Macaluso, 96 A.D.2d 895). No such "cogent reasons" are presented in the record before us. Bracken, J.P., O'Connor, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
