Head Matter:
Linda Holtz, Appellant, v Janerio D. Aldridge et al., Respondents.
(Appeal No. 1.)
[683 NYS2d 451]

Opinion:
—Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Plaintiffs sole contention on appeal is that various remarks by defense counsel in summation were so unfair and prejudicial as to require a new trial. Plaintiff failed to move for a mistrial until after the jury rendered its verdict, and thus the motion was untimely (see, Taylor v Dayton Suregrip & Shore Co., 64 AD2d 809, 810). Although the remarks by defense counsel were improper, plaintiffs objections to those remarks were sustained by Supreme Court, which immediately gave curative instructions.
