      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Benjamin D. Russo for appellant.
    
      Harvey Weinberg for respondents.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

On summary consideration, order, insofar as appealed from, affirmed, with costs. We cannot say as a matter of law that the Appellate Division erred in deleting the award of punitive damages.

Concur: Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler and Fuchsberg. Taking no part: Judge Meyer.
