GREENE v. HILLCREST GENERAL HOSPITAL

Ordered that the order is reversed, with costs, and the motion is denied.

A motion to change venue for the convenience of witnesses must be supported by a statement naming the witnesses involved, that they have agreed to testify and what their testimony might be. Absent such a showing, such a motion should be denied (see, Brevetti v. Roth, 114 A.D.2d 877, 878-879). The respondents have not satisfied this burden and, accordingly, reversal is required. Mangano, J.P., Eiber, Kunzeman and Harwood, JJ., concur.
