Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jun 18, 1981
425 N.E.2d 893 (N.Y. 1981)

Opinion

Argued May 8, 1981

Decided June 18, 1981

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, ALFRED J. CALLAHAN, J.

Brian J. Shoot for appellant.

Philip Hoffer, Rose L. Hoffer and Raymond J. MacDonnell for respondents.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

We find no error of law in the charge to the jury given by the trial court, and the order of the Appellate Division should not be reversed on that ground.

Insofar as the determination of the Appellate Division to reverse the Trial Term's order for a new trial and to reinstate the jury verdict was based on that court's evaluation of the weight of the evidence it is not subject to our review (Donigi v American Cyanamid Co., 43 N.Y.2d 935; Pfohl v Wipperman, 34 N.Y.2d 597).

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
