Matter of De Riso v. Kennedy

Matter of De Riso v. Kennedy (13 Misc. 2d 322, 176 N.Y.S.2d 444 [Sup Ct, Kings County 1958]) involved a motion to change venue from Kings County to New York County in an article 78 proceeding directed against the Police Commissioner. The court in De Riso (at 325) noted that, since nothing in the petition before the court indicated that the determination complained of took place in Kings County, the court was "constrained to find that venue of this article 78 proceeding is improperly laid in Kings County and therefore directs the transfer of this matter to the County of New York within the First Judicial District"--i.e., where the Police Commissioner maintained his principal office.
