OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.
In this personal injury action for damages by a claimant injured while she was a patient at the Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center, a bifurcated trial was held in the Court of Claims resulting in an interlocutory judgment of liability against the State of New York. The State appealed, automatically triggering a stay in its favor pursuant to CPLR 5519 (a) (1). The liability judgment was affirmed and, subsequently, damages were fixed in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $750,000.
