Opinion
April 12, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Putnam County (Dickinson, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiff contends that error in the court's charge concerning circumstantial evidence and res ipsa loquitur deprived her of a fair trial. We disagree. Read as a whole, the charge adequately communicated to the jury the legal principles necessary for resolving the issues raised at trial (see, Bartlett v General Elec. Co., 90 A.D.2d 183, 186; Brown v Village Mobil Serv. Sta., 167 A.D.2d 158; Schmeider v Montefiore Hosp. Med. Ctr., 122 A.D.2d 735). Lawrence, J.P., Eiber, O'Brien and Ritter, JJ., concur.
