Opinion
February 9, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Davis, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, we conclude that there was some evidence that the defendant's alleged negligence resulted in the onset of cauda equina syndrome. However, we also find that the defendant's evidence, which tended to show that his alleged negligence was not the cause of the plaintiff's condition, was of such quantity and quality as to render the jury's verdict contrary to the weight of the credible evidence and, therefore, the Supreme Court properly ordered a new trial ( see, Gomez v. Doe, 230 A.D.2d 892).
