Opinion
March 29, 1999
Appeal from the judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Coppola, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the plaintiff's contentions, the evidence adduced at trial did not so preponderate in her favor that the jury verdict in favor of the defendants could not have been reached upon any fair interpretation of the evidence ( see, Keegan v. Prout, 215 A.D.2d 629, 630; Nicastro v. Park, 113 A.D.2d 129, 134). The evidence proffered by the plaintiff in an effort to establish that the defendant manufactured the chair that allegedly caused her injuries was contradictory and inconclusive, and the jury was entitled to discredit this evidence ( see, Libman v. McKnight, 204 A.D.2d 856, 859; Hershkowitz v. Saint Michel, 143 A.D.2d 809).
Moreover, any prejudice resulting from the erroneous admission and subsequent withdrawal of certain irrelevant purchase orders was rendered harmless by the trial court's curative instructions to the jury ( see, Tomanelli v. Lizda Realty, 174 A.D.2d 889, 890; Kutanovski v. DeCicco, 152 A.D.2d 540, 541).
