¶1Defendant seeks to preclude the plaintiff for failure to comply with defendant’s demand for a bill of particulars (CPLR 3042, subd. [d]).

¶2Paragraph “Sixth” of plaintiff’s complaint alleges certain violations of ordinances and statutes by defendant herein and pursuant thereto, defendant did demand of plaintiff under para*120graph two of the bill of particulars, “ a statement of each and every statute and ¡ordinance which plaintiff claims to have been violated by the defendant. ’ ’

¶3That in response to said demand, the plaintiff set forth the following: " 2. Plaintiff will rely upon the Judge’s charge to jury.”

¶4'Since plaintiff in his complaint alleges in paragraph “ Sixth ” that defendant, among other things, negligently violated ‘1 the ordinances of the City of Buffalo, and the laws of the State of New York relative to speed and caution required of the operator of a motor vehicle ’ ’, he is required to identify the statutes and ordinances claimed to have been violated by defendant.
