Holtz v. Aldridge ( 1998 )

—Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Plaintiffs sole contention on appeal is that various remarks by defense counsel in summation were so unfair and prejudicial as to require a new trial. Plaintiff failed to move for a mistrial until after the jury rendered its verdict, and thus the motion was untimely (see, Taylor v Dayton Suregrip & Shore Co., 64 AD2d 809, 810). Although the remarks by defense counsel were improper, plaintiffs objections to those remarks were sustained by Supreme Court, which immediately gave curative instructions. (Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Erie County, Flaherty, J. — Negligence.) Present — Denman, P. J., Hayes, Pigott, Jr., Callahan and Fallon, JJ.
