— Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Wayne County (Daniel G. Barrett, J.), entered December 16, 2014 in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6. The order dismissed the petition.
 

  It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
 

  Memorandum: Petitioner father appeals from an order dismissing his petition seeking to modify a prior order of visitation. Contrary to the father’s contention, we conclude that Family Court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing his petition without conducting a hearing. A hearing is not required whenever a parent seeks modification of a visitation order and, here, the father “failed to make a sufficient evidentiary showing of a change in circumstances to require a hearing”

  Present — Whalen, P.J., Smith, Centra, Carni and Scudder, JJ.
