Opinion

Henry Medina, Jr., et al., Respondents, v Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Appellant. [699 NYS2d 289] —In an action to recover the proceeds of a homeowners’ insurance policy, the defendant appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Jones, J.), entered May 18, 1998, which, upon a jury verdict, is in favor of the plaintiffs and against it in the principal sum of $80,000. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs. The evidence was legally sufficient to support the verdict. Moreover, the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, Nicastro v Park, 113 AD2d 129). The defendant’s remaining contentions lack merit. Sullivan, J. P., Joy, Krausman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
