Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department.

March 3, 1943.

Appeal from judgments for damages received on account of claimed negligence of the State as a landlord in the operation of a loft building in the city of New York.

There was proof that the elevator operator negligently closed the door and refused to permit claimants to enter the elevator and leave the danger zone; that an exit door from the floor could not be opened to permit claimants to leave; and that injuries resulted from these two acts of negligence. Judgments affirmed, with costs. All concur.
