It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: Petitioner father, as limited by his brief, contends on appeal that Family Court erred in dismissing his petition seeking modification of a prior custody order with prejudice following a hearing. Contrary to the father's contention, there is a sound and substantial basis in the record for the court's determination that the father did not make a sufficient showing of a change in circumstances to warrant an inquiry into whether the best interests of the subject child would be served by a change in custody ( see Matter of Amy L.M. v Kevin M.M., 31 AD3d 1224, 1225; see generally Matter of Perry v Korman, 63 AD3d 1564, 1565; Matter of McLeod v McLeod, 59 AD3d 1011). Indeed, the father failed to make "the requisite evidentiary showing of a `change of circumstances warranting a reexamination of the existing custody arrangement `"( Amy L.M., 31 AD3d at 1225).
