In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants MTA Bus Company and Ronald Pierre appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Agate, J.), entered July 10, 2009, as denied that branch of their motion which was pursuant to CPLR 4404 (a) to set aside a jury verdict on the issue of liability finding them 28% at fault, the defendant Maria Torres 65% at fault, and the plaintiff 7% at fault in the happening of the accident and for a judgment as a matter of law, or to set aside the jury verdict as contrary to the weight of the evidence and for a new trial, or for a mistrial.
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly denied those branches of the motion of the defendants MTA Bus Company and Ronald Pierre (hereinafter together the appellants) which were pursuant to CPLR 4404 (a) for judgment as a matter of law and to set aside
Contrary to the appellants’ contention, the Supreme Court properly denied that branch of their motion which was for a mistrial based upon improper comments made by the plaintiffs counsel during the summation. The Supreme Court sustained the appellants’ objection to these comments, provided curative instructions, and openly admonished the plaintiffs counsel, correcting any possible prejudice (see Blanar v Dickinson, 296 AD2d 431 [2002]; Bacigalupo v Healthshield, Inc., 231 AD2d 538 [1996]).
The Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the appellants’ request to charge the jury on the emergency doctrine, as there is no reasonable view of the evidence supporting the occurrence of a qualifying emergency (see Caristo v Sanzone, 96 NY2d 172, 174-175 [2001]; cf. Waugh v Johns, 206 AD2d 525 [1994]). Skelos, J.P., Angiolillo, Dickerson and Leventhal, JJ., concur.
