A. R. Fuels, Inc. v. City of New York
Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The judgment of the Supreme Court, New York County, appealed from, and the orders of the Appellate Division brought up for review, should be affirmed, with costs.
Appellant’s motion for summary judgment properly was denied. A material issue of fact as to the use of posted prices to determine the amount of restitution due for deliveries of No. 2D diesel fuel remained for resolution, and was in fact later resolved at trial. With respect to the amount of restitution due appellant, upon reviewing the record we conclude that the Appellate Division’s finding — that the separate posted prices for diesel fuel should be used to determine the market price of that fuel — more nearly comports with the weight of evidence at trial. While appellant complains of the apparent reliance by the Appellate Division on an affidavit submitted after the close of evidence, the one-page affidavit was merely cumulative of the weight of evidence submitted concerning posted prices, and any error concerning its consideration was harmless. (Fowler v International Ry. Co., 217 App Div 537, 540, affd
There being no error in the orders of the Appellate Division brought up for review, those orders and the final judgment entered by the Supreme Court below should be affirmed.
Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Jones, Wachtler, Meyer, Simons and Kaye concur.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.4), judgment appealed from and orders of the Appellate Division brought up for review affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
