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.
