JONES, PETITIONER-APPELLANT, v. PAULA A. STONE, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT. Memorandum: Family Court did not err in dismissing the petition seeking modification of a prior custody order without conducting a hearing ( see, Matter of Wurmlinger v. Freer, 256 A.D.2d 1069). Petitioner failed to make a sufficient evidentiary showing to warrant a hearing ( see, Matter of Lynette L. v. Richard K. A., 210 A.D.2d 1005; David W. v. Julia W., 158 A.D.2d 1, 6-7).
