Sherman v. Ashkinazy

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 4, 1990
157 A.D.2d 451 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

January 4, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Ira Gammerman, J.).


In this dental malpractice action, plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that the jury's special verdict finding no negligence on defendant's part could not have been reached on any fair interpretation of the evidence. (Delgado v. Board of Educ., 65 A.D.2d 547, affd 48 N.Y.2d 643.) Nor do the arguments made in defendant's summation warrant reversal as they were never objected to, were within the bounds of the wide latitude given to attorneys in summation in any hotly contested action, and did not deprive plaintiffs of a fair trial. (See, Reilly v. Wright, 55 A.D.2d 544.)

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Carro and Rosenberger, JJ.
