Plaintiff, as limited by her brief, appeals from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of
New York, Bronx County (Julia I. Rodriguez, J.), entered on or about July 8, 2008, after inquest,
which, inter alia, limited her recovery of damages to the principal sum of $l,221.
Per Curiam.
Judgment (Julia I. Rodriguez, J.), entered on or
about July 8, 2008, affirmed, without costs.
The amount of the habitability abatement awarded to plaintiff-tenant upon the inquest was supported by the evidence and was within reasonable limits. Further, in view of the paucity of the pro se plaintiff's proof, no basis is shown to disturb the dismissal of her property damage and "interference" claims. In the absence of a cross appeal by landlord, the propriety of the severance without prejudice of the pro se plaintiff's (unsubstantiated) claim for medical damages is not properly before us.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
