      George E. Ashley, Frank R. Natoli and Michael J. Toolan for appellant.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

Judgment unanimously reversed, without costs, and complaint dismissed.

The mistakes committed by the Telephone Company employees in disconnecting plaintiffs telephone did not reach the level of gross negligence or willful misconduct required to create liability under the tariff provisions filed with the New York Public Service Commission.
