2020-808 K C
against
Kickstarter PBC, Respondent.
Jerry Vasilatos, appellant pro se. Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP (James Rosenfeld and Kathleen E. Farley of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Lorna J. McAllister, J.), entered January 9, 2020. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, dismissed the action.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
In this small claims action, plaintiff seeks to recover the principal sum of $5,000 based on alleged defamatory statements made by defendant. Following a nonjury trial, the Civil Court dismissed the action.
In a small claims action, this court's review is limited to a determination of whether "substantial justice has . . . been done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law" (CCA 1807; see CCA 1804; Ross v Friedman, 269 AD2d 584 [2000]; Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125 [2000]).
Upon a review of the record, we find that the court's determination rendered substantial justice between the parties (see CCA 1804, 1807).
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
ALIOTTA, P.J., WESTON and TOUSSAINT, JJ., concur.
