Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the motion to change venue from Queens County to Suffolk County is denied.
Impleading a municipality as a third-party defendant does not render improper venue previously designated in a proper county other than the one in which the municipality is situated ( see, Holmes v. Greenlife Landscaping, 171 A.D.2d 916; Vigliotti v Executive Land Corp., 183 A.D.2d 710). Rather, the municipality's sole recourse is to seek a discretionary change of venue under CPLR 510(2) or (3) ( see, Holmes v. Greenlife Landscaping, supra). Here, the third-party defendant Town of Huntington failed to demonstrate how its potential witnesses would in fact be inconvenienced if a change of venue were not granted and thus has failed to establish entitlement to relief pursuant to CPLR 510 (3) ( see, O'Brien v. Vassar Bros. Hosp., 207 A.D.2d 169, 173).
