— Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Anita Florio, J.), entered on or about May 31, 1988, unanimously modified, on the law and the facts, without costs or disbursements, and a new trial ordered solely on the issue of damages unless plaintiff, within 20 days after service of a copy of the order herein upon her attorney, 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 her favor to $250,000 and to the entry of an amended judgment in accordance therewith. If plaintiff so stipulates, the judgment as so amended and reduced is affirmed, without costs and without disbursements.
