Appeal from the Court of Claims (Orlando, J.).
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
On a prior appeal ( Gunnarson v. State of New York, 95 A.D.2d 797), this court affirmed an interlocutory judgment of the Court of Claims (Amann, J.), which found that the personal injuries sustained by the claimant, while she was a patient at Pilgrim Psychiatric Center, resulted from the negligence of the defendant, and ordered an assessment of damages. At the trial on damages, claimant amply demonstrated that her injuries are severe and of a permanent nature, such as to cause disability and loss of normal function. Therefore, the ruling of the Court of Claims should not be disturbed. Mollen, P.J., Bracken, Niehoff and Rubin, JJ., concur.
