Said v. Strong Memorial Hospital

Order unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: Defendants appeal from an order denying their motion pursuant to CPLR 510 (3) to change the venue of this medical malpractice action from Onondaga County, where plaintiff resides, to Monroe County, where the cause of action arose. Defendants assert that a change of venue is necessary for the convenience of the material witnesses, including five physicians who treated plaintiff as employees of defendant Strong Memorial Hospital (Strong), and unnamed ambulance and law enforcement personnel.
