    DEPENDABLE CONTAINER SERVICE, INC., PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE AUTHORITY, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
    Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division
    Submitted June 17, 1975
    Decided June 24, 1975.
    
      Before Judges Kolovsky, Lynch and Allcorn.
    
      Messrs. Ronca & McDonald, attorneys for appellant {Mr. John J. Ronca on the brief).
    
      Messrs. McElroy, Connell, Foley & Geiser, attorneys for respondent (Mr. William U. Graham, of counsel and on the brief).
   Per Curiam.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is so plainly and clearly a public entity within the meaning of that term as defined in N. J. S. A. 59 :l-3, as to leave no room for construction. See N. J. S. A. 27:23-1 et seq. Consequently, the present action — a subrogation action in which the insurer of the plaintiff is the real party in interest — is barred by the express proscription contained in the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. N. J. S. A. 59:9-2(e).

Affirmed.
