Head Matter:
Shirley V. Rivenburgh, as Administratrix of the Estate of Frank V. Rivenburgh, Deceased, Appellant, v Viking Boat Co. et al., Respondents. Alco Standard Corporation, Doing Business as Tempo Products Company, Fifth-Party Plaintiff, v Walter A. Braun Co., Inc., Fifth-Party Defendant-Respondent. (And Other Actions.)

Opinion:
In a wrongful death action, plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (McCarthy, J.), entered January 24, 1980, which, inter alia, is in favor of defendants and against her, upon the trial court's dismissal of the complaint at the close of the plaintiff's case, at a jury trial. Judgment affirmed, with one bill of costs payable jointly to respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs. Viewing the evidence adduced at trial in a light most favorable to the plaintiff (see Noseworthy v City of New York, 298 NY 76; Schafer v General Motors Corp., 73 AD2d 600), plaintiff did not establish a prima facie case for recovery on any of the theories asserted in the complaint. Titone, J. P., Gulotta and Margett, JJ., concur.
