Appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Nassau County, Fourth District
(Eugene H. Shifrin, Ct. Atty. Ref.), entered June 22, 2011. The judgment, insofar as
appealed from, after a nonjury trial, dismissed the action.
ORDERED that the judgment, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed, without costs.
In this small claims action seeking to recover the principal sum of $5,000, it is our opinion that substantial justice was done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law (UDCA 1804, 1807). An appellate court may not reverse a determination of the small claims court absent a showing that there is no support in the record for the court's determination or that the determination is so clearly erroneous as to warrant reversal (see Moses v Randolph, 236 AD2d 706 [1997]). Upon a review of the record, we find no basis to disturb the judgment.
Accordingly, the judgment, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed.
Nicolai, P.J., Iannacci and Tolbert, JJ., concur.
