SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

APPELLATE TERM: 2nd and 11th JUDICIAL DISTRICTS

PRESENT: : GOLIA, J.P., PESCE and RIOS, JJ
2007-1018 Q C.

Phyllis F. Lisker, Appellant,

against

Cofire Paving Corporation, Respondent.


Appeal from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Joseph J. Esposito, J.), entered March 5, 2007. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, dismissed plaintiff's action.


Judgment affirmed without costs.

In this small claims action to recover for damage to plaintiff's sidewalk, plaintiff failed to establish that defendant caused said damage. At trial, plaintiff admitted that she did not observe defendant damaging the sidewalk or performing the work thereon.
Accordingly, substantial justice was done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law (CCA 1804, 1807), and the judgment dismissing the action is affirmed.

Pesce and Rios, JJ., concur.

Golia, J.P., taking no part.
