[620 NYS2d 49]

Opinion:
—Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Jerry Crispino, J.), entered May 31, 1994, which denied defendant-appellant's motion to change venue from Bronx County to New York County, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
It was not an abuse of discretion for the trial court to deny defendant-appellant's motion for a change of venue which was made on the eve of trial some 7 years after the action had been commenced, with extensive discovery having been completed and the case having been on the trial calendar for some 18 months.
