Rio v. Edison

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 18, 2007
46 A.D.3d 741 (N.Y. App. Div. 2007)

Opinion

No. 2007-02716.

December 18, 2007.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schneier, J.), dated January 22, 2007, which, upon a jury verdict on the issue of liability, is in favor of the defendant City of New York and against her, dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against that defendant.

Gary E. Rosenberg, P.C., Forest Hills, N.Y., for appellant.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York, N.Y. (Leonard Koerner and Larry A. Sonnenshein of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Crane, J.P., Rivera, Angiolillo and Dickerson, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the plaintiffs contention, she was not entitled to a circumstantial evidence charge ( see Venditto v Doody, 181 AD2d 729, 730; Castagna v John E. Flynn, M.D., P. C, 127 AD2d 813, 814). The plaintiff failed to preserve her contention regarding the jury verdict sheet and, in any event, her contention is without merit ( see CPLR 5501 [a] [3]; Schlesinger v City of New York, 30 AD3d 400, 401; Perkins v Murphy, 7 AD3d 500, 501; Manginaro v County of Nassau, 221 AD2d 603, 604). The plaintiff also failed to preserve for appellate review her contentions regarding counsel's summation ( see Friedman v Marcus, 32 AD3d 820, 820; Torrado v Lutheran Med. Ctr., 198 AD2d 346, 347). In any event, these contentions do not warrant reversal ( see Lauter v Village of Great Neck, 231 AD2d 553, 555; Tri-State Sol-Aire Corp. v United States Fid. Guar. Co., 161 AD2d 757, 758-759; cf. Padovani v Miller, 44 AD3d 917).

The plaintiffs remaining contentions are without merit.
