Donald Murray, Respondent, v International Terminal Operating Co., Inc., Appellant and Third-Party Plaintiff-Respondent. Mackler Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc., Third-Party Defendant-Appellant.
   — Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Nadel, J.), entered on March 16, 1982, unanimously modified, on the law and the facts, and a new trial ordered on the sole issue of damages awarded to plaintiff, without costs and without disbursements, unless plaintiff, within 20 days after service upon him 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 his favor to $400,000 and to the entry of an amended judgment in accordance therewith. If plaintiff so stipulates, the judgment, as so amended, 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., Kupferman, Sandler, Sullivan and Kassal, JJ.
