Passanante v. Snyder

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 18, 1988
142 A.D.2d 669 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

July 18, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Leviss, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with one bill of costs.

On the record before us, it cannot be said that the jury verdict was against the weight of the evidence. A jury verdict will not be set aside on this ground unless the jury could not have reached the verdict by any fair interpretation of the evidence (Cohen v. Hallmark Cards, 45 N.Y.2d 493, 499; Nicastro v Park, 113 A.D.2d 129, 134).

We have reviewed the appellants' remaining contentions, including the claim that the verdict was excessive, and find them to be without merit. Mangano, J.P., Brown, Lawrence and Harwood, JJ., concur.
