Plaintiff had a verdict for $5,000. Thereafter the court granted defendant’s motion to set aside the verdict, and its renewed motion to dismiss the complaint, made at the close of the case, upon which motion decision had been reserved, and plaintiff appeals. Order and judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Present — Carswell, Acting P. J., Johnston, Adel, Sneed and Wenzel, JJ.
