OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

We agree with the Appellate Division that the presence in the jury room of a noté written by a discharged alternate juror is, by itself, insufficient to require the setting aside of the jury’s verdict as a matter of law.

Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke concur in memorandum.

Order affirmed.
