Head Matter:
Norma Viscomi, Individually and as Executrix of Thomas Viscomi, Deceased, Respondent-Appellant, v S. S. Kresge Co., K-Mart Discount Stores Division, Appellant-Respondent.

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously vacated on the law with costs to plaintiff and new trial granted on the issue of damages only. Memorandum: The jury's award of damages was patently inadequate, based on the proof at trial of special damages and pain and suffering, and a new trial on the issue of damages is required (Ladd v Parkhurst, 87 AD2d 971). We have examined defendant's,arguments on its appeal and find them to be without merit. (Appeals from judgment of Supreme Court, Niagara County, DiFlorio, J.— negligence.) Present—Dillon, P.
