Decision Date22 February 1978
Parties, 374 N.E.2d 1245 Laura DONIGI, Appellant, v. AMERICAN CYANAMID COMPANY, Respondent.
CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs to respondent. Although the order of the Appellate Division is appealable, it is not reviewable. Appellant raises only a question of fact as to the weight of the evidence. Since no question of law is presented, the order of the Appellate Division lies beyond our power of review. (Pfohl v. Wipperman, 34 N.Y.2d 597, 354 N.Y.S.2d 951, 310 N.E.2d 546; Armstrong v. Campbell, 30 N.Y.2d 704, 332 N.Y.S.2d 644, 283 N.E.2d 619; Indiere v. Strickroth, 28 N.Y.2d 513, 319 N.Y.S.2d 66, 267 N.E.2d 881; see Cohen and Karger, Powers of the New York Court of Appeals (rev. ed.), § 148, p. 588.)

BREITEL, C. J., and JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and COOKE, JJ., concur in memorandum.

Order, 57 A.D.2d 760, 394 N.Y.S.2d 422, affirmed.
