Beth S. Epstein, an Infant, by Her Guardian ad Litem, Harry Epstein, et al., Respondents, v. Leonard’s Bootery, Inc., Appellant.

Opinion:
Action by an infant to recover damages for injuries sustained by her when the outer heavy plate glass door of defendant's retail store, in swinging to a close, severed her right index finger to the first joint.

In accordance with a condition of an order made by the trial court after the rendition of the verdict, the father stipulated to reduce his recovery to $1,000. Defendant appeals from the ensuing judgment. Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Present — Nolan, P. J., Johnston, Adel, Wenzel and MacCrate, JJ.
