GERMAN v. SWENDSEN

Order dated February 22, 1984, affirmed insofar as reviewed.

Plaintiffs are awarded one bill of costs.

Special Term properly denied defendant R.H. Crown Corp.'s cross motion for a change of venue. Absent "cogent reasons" to direct otherwise, the venue of a transitory action should be the county where the cause of action arose ( Chiappa v. Macaluso, 96 A.D.2d 895). No such "cogent reasons" are presented in the record before us. Bracken, J.P., O'Connor, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
