SHUMAN v. BOWER

Order unanimously affirmed with costs.

Memorandum:

Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion for recusal. "Where, as here, there is no allegation that recusal is statutorily required ( see, Judiciary Law § 14), the matter of recusal is addressed to the discretion and personal conscience of the Justice whose recusal is sought" ( Matter of Card v. Siragusa, 214 A.D.2d 1022, 1023).
