John Weber et al., Appellants, v City of New York, Defendant, and New York City Housing Authority, Respondent. (And Third- and Fourth-Party Actions.)
    Decided October 16, 1984
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Richard D. Friedman for appellant.
    
      Lester E. Fetell for New York City Housing Authority, respondent.
    
      John M. Clarke and Joel Blossom for New York Telephone Company, respondent, precluded.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

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

The order from which the appeal is taken is one which reversed an order of Special Term granting plaintiffs’ motion to set aside the jury verdict as against the weight of the evidence and for a new trial. The determination by the Appellate Division, contrary to that of the Trial Judge, that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence is beyond our power of review (Goehle v Town of Smith-town, 55 NY2d 995; Rochester Tel. Corp. v Green Is. Constr. Corp., 51 NY2d 788). There must therefore be an affirmance.

Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Jones, Wachtler, Meyer, Simons and Kaye concur.

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.4), order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
