Judgment modified by dismissing the complaint as to defendants Palios and, as so modified, affirmed, with costs to defendants Palios. The proof of Steve Palios ’ conduct, precipitated as it was by an emergency not of Ms own making, was as a matter of law insufficient to create liability (see Meyer v. Whisnant, 307 N. Y. 369 ; Andersen v. Bee Line, 1 N Y 2d 169 ). No opimon.
