Opinion
November 16, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Golden, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We do not find that the jury's verdict should be set aside as being contrary to the weight of the evidence. It cannot be said that the jury's finding of no negligence in this "trip and fall" case could not be reached "on any fair interpretation of the evidence" ( Nordhauser v. New York City Health Hosps. Corp., 176 A.D.2d 787, 789; see also, Thoreson v. Penthouse Intl., 80 N.Y.2d 490, 495; Nicastro v. Park, 113 A.D.2d 129, 135). Further, the court's jury instructions regarding negligence were adequate to apprise the jury of the appropriate legal standards for evaluating the plaintiff's claims on this record ( cf, J.R. Loftus, Inc. v. White, 85 N.Y.2d 874, 876).
The plaintiff's remaining contention does not warrant disturbing the verdict.
Miller, J. P., Pizzuto, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
