In an action to recover damages for personal • injuries, the appeal is (1) from an order entered May 6, 1958 granting respondent's motion to set aside the verdict for $22,500 in favor of appellant and for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was excessive, unless appellant within a stated time stipulated to reduce the amount of the verdict to $10,000, and (2) from so much of an order entered June 5, 1958 which (a) on reargument adhered to the original decision granting respondent's motion, (b) denied appellant's motion to revise the order entered May 6, 1958 so as to limit such new trial to the issue of damages only, and (c) extended appellant's time in which to stipulate to reduce the verdict until 10 days after service of a copy of the order to be entered thereon, as denied the motion to revise the order. Appeal from order entered May 6, 1958 dismissed, without costs. (Graffeo v. Graffeo, 7 A D 2d 741.)
