Owens v. State

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Nov 23, 1983
97 A.D.2d 909 (N.Y. App. Div. 1983)

Opinion

November 23, 1983

Appeal from a judgment in favor of claimant, entered September 15, 1982, upon a decision of the Court of Claims (Murray, J.).


The underlying facts may be found in our earlier decision ( 96 A.D.2d 630). Previously, we withheld our decision and remitted to the Court of Claims for clarification of whether any portion of the $75,000 award represented recovery for basic economic loss. By decision filed September 1, 1983, the Court of Claims has clarified that the entire award was intended to compensate claimant solely for his noneconomic loss. Inasmuch as the record supports this conclusion, the judgment should be affirmed. Judgment affirmed, with costs. Sweeney, J.P., Kane, Casey, Yesawich, Jr., and Weiss, JJ., concur.
