Before LUMBARD, Chief Judge, and WATERMAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
We affirm the order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York which granted partial summary judgment for the defendant dismissing plaintiff's first cause of action which sought damages for personal injuries suffered in an airplane crash in Brazil in defendant's aircraft which plaintiff, a resident of New York, had boarded in Brazil after purchasing his ticket there, for the reasons stated by Judge Wyatt in his opinion, reported at 245 F.Supp. 819 (1965), which analyzes the governing New York law. As defendant had already disbursed for the plaintiff a sum in excess of the maximum amount reasonable under Brazilian law, the district court held no further recovery could be had.
