Fairbairn v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Oct 8, 1985
66 N.Y.2d 620 (N.Y. 1985)

Opinion

Argued September 5, 1985

Decided October 8, 1985

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department, Jerome F. Hanifin, J.

Ellen Leary Coccoma for appellants.

Robert Abrams, Attorney-General ( Michael S. Buskus, Robert Hermann and Peter H. Schiff of counsel), for respondent.


Order affirmed, with costs. The finding of the Appellate Division, that no joint enterprise existed, more closely comports with the weight of the evidence than does the contrary finding of the Court of Claims.

Concur: Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges JASEN, MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER and TITONE.
