CHASE v. CITY OF NEW YORK

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The trial court's verdict is based on a fair interpretation of the evidence ( see, Nicastro v Park, 113 AD2d 129), and the award of damages is not excessive since it does not materially deviate from what would be reasonable compensation ( see, CPLR 5501 [c]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
