Wright v. Board of Education

109 A.D.2d 648, 487 N.Y.S.2d 536, 1985 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 47129

Opinion

— Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Dorothy E. Kent, J.), entered on June 24, 1983, unanimously reversed, on the law and the facts, and a new trial ordered on the issue of damages only, without costs and without disbursements, unless plaintiff Judith Patrice Wright, within 20 days after service upon her attorney of a copy of the order herein, with notice of entry, serves and files in the office of the clerk of the trial court a written stipulation consenting to reduce the verdict in her favor to $750,000 and to the entry of an amended judgment in accordance therewith. If said plaintiff so stipulates, the judgment, as so amended and reduced, is affirmed, without costs and without disbursements.

After review of the record, the damages appear to us to be excessive to the extent indicated. Concur — Murphy, P. J., Ross, Bloom and Kassal, JJ.
