1Opinion of the CourtMikoll, J.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Hughes, J.), entered June 16, 1989 in Schoharie County, upon a decision of the court, without a jury, in favor of plaintiffs.

The issues involved herein are whether Supreme Court was correct in holding (1) that defendant failed to establish a right to an easement by prescription as to a portion of a town road in the Town of Middleburgh, Schoharie County, since he failed to show that parcels owned by plaintiffs and defendant came from a common grantor, and (2) that defendant failed to establish that his use of the road prior to 1985 was hostile.
