Opinion
March 30, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Peter Tom, J.).
The evidence in the record adequately supports the jury's determination that defendant terminated plaintiff because of her disability, in violation of Executive Law § 296 (1) (see, Sogg v American Airlines, 193 A.D.2d 153, lv denied 83 N.Y.2d 754, lv dismissed 83 N.Y.2d 846). We also find that the award does not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation under the circumstances (CPLR 5501 [c]; compare, Matter of Hamilton v. New York City Commn. on Human Rights, 199 A.D.2d 223).
We have reviewed defendant's contentions with respect to plaintiff's counsel's statements during summation, and find them to be without merit.
