Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Bertram Katz, J.), entered on or about November 22, 2000, which granted defendant's motion made pursuant to CPLR 503 and 510(1) for a change of venue from Bronx County to Westchester County, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
John R. Kelligrew, for plaintiff-appellant.
Bruce Roth, for defendant-respondent.
Before: Sullivan, P.J., Rosenberger, Tom, Wallach, Rubin, JJ.
Defendant's motion to change venue, as of right, from Bronx County to Westchester County, where defendant resides, was properly granted. The police accident report showed plaintiff as having a Westchester County address and plaintiff, in opposition to defendant's timely motion, failed to offer any documentary evidence to support her conclusory claim that she was a Bronx resident at the time she commenced her personal injury action (see, Buziashhvili v. Ryan, 264 A.D.2d 797; Gladstone v. Syverston, 186 A.D.2d 400; Martinez v. Semicevic, 178 A.D.2d 228). Her total claimed period of residence in the Bronx was 3½ months, with the filing of the action occurring about half-way into that period.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
