Head Matter:
Alan Futterman, Respondent, v City of New York et al., Appellants.

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Con. G. Cholakis, J.), entered on July 5,1983, unanimously reversed, on the law and the facts, and a new trial ordered solely on the issue of damages and otherwise affirmed, without costs and without disbursements, unless the plaintiff, within 20 days after service upon his attorney 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 $60,000 and to the entry of an amended judgment in accordance therewith. If plaintiff so stipulates, the judgment, as so amended and reduced, is unanimously affirmed, without costs and without disbursements. 11 After review of the record, the damages appear to us to be excessive to the extent indicated.
