Opinion
May 22, 1997
Appeal from Supreme Court, Bronx County (Luis Gonzalez, J.),
The motion court correctly held that because defendant appellant was named in the Workers Compensation Board proceeding and specifically argued therein, through counsel, that it was plaintiff's employer, it should be collaterally estopped from arguing herein that it was plaintiff's "employer" by reason of its alter ego relationship with the company found by the Board to be plaintiffs employer ( see, Vogel v. Herk El. Co., 229 A.D.2d 331).
