Based upon the Supreme Court’s determination on issues of credibility, which is entitled to substantial deference on appeal (see, McCray v Petrini, 212 AD2d 676 ), the Supreme Court properly determined that the plaintiff obtained personal jurisdiction over the appellants pursuant to CPLR 308 (2) (see, Brooklyn Union Gas Co. v Arrao, 100 AD2d 949 ). Rosenblatt, J. P., Pizzuto, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
