Benjamin M. Gottesfeld and John J. Leonard for appellant. John J. Lynch for respondent.

Memorandum. Judgment of the court below (see 71 Misc 2d 329 ) is affirmed, without costs.

The evidence was sufficient to support the finding of negligence on the part of defendant. (See Shuffian v Garfola, 9 AD2d 910 .) While we are not in complete agreement with the trial court’s rationale in holding third-party defendant liable, the result was proper. (See Dole v Dow Chem. Co., 30 NY2d 143 , 153.)

Concur: Hogan, P.J., Pittoni and McCullough, JJ.
