Appeal from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Genine
D. Edwards, J.), entered June 12, 2008. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, dismissed the action.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed without costs.
Plaintiff commenced the instant small claims action to recover for defendant's alleged breach of a contract to train plaintiff's dog. After a nonjury trial, the Civil Court dismissed the action. A review of the record on appeal indicates that there is ample support in the record for the Civil Court's determination. Moreover, contrary to his contention, plaintiff was afforded ample opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses. We therefore find that substantial justice was done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law (CCA 1804, 1807). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
Pesce, P.J., Weston and Rios, JJ., concur.
