Plaintiff appeals from an order denying her motion pursuant to CPLR 4404 to set aside the jury verdict
Contrary to plaintiffs contention, Supreme Court properly denied plaintiffs posttrial motion. There is a valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences based on the evidence at trial that could lead rational persons to the conclusion that defendant was not negligent, and thus plaintiff was not entitled to a directed verdict (see Guthrie v Overmyer, 19 AD3d 1169 [2005]). Nor can it be said that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence, because the evidence does not “so preponderate in favor of plaintiff that the verdict could not have been reached upon any fair interpretation of the evidence” (DiSalvo v Hiller, 2 AD3d 1386, 1387 [2003]; see Lolik v Big V Supermarkets, 86 NY2d 744, 746 [1995]; Miller v Reynolds, 298 AD2d 836, 837 [2002]). Present—Martoche, J.P., Smith, Centra, Lunn and Fahey, JJ.
