EDITH REICHEL, Respondent-Appellant, et al., Plaintiff, v. IRVING KATZ et al., Appellants, and LOUIS ANGELO, Respondent.

Judgment unanimously modified, on the law and on the facts, to the extent of vacating the verdict in favor of plaintiff Edith Reichel in the sum of $20,172 and granting a new trial as to defendants-appellants Irving Katz and Rose Rosa, and, as so modified, affirmed, with $50 costs to defendants-appellants, unless plaintiff stipulates to accept $12,500 in lieu of the award by verdict, in which event the judgment is modified to that extent, and is affirmed as thus modified, with $50 costs to defendants-appellants. In this personal injury action it is evident that the jury verdict is grossly excessive in its award of damages, and that a verdict in excess of $12,500 is not warranted by the record.

Concur — Botein, P.J., Eager and Steuer, JJ.; Rabin and McNally, JJ., dissent, in part, and vote to reverse and dismiss the complaint against defendant-appellant Rose Rosa on the ground that the record fails to establish actionable negligence as to her. Settle order on notice.
