1Opinion of the CourtCardona, P. J.
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court (Malone, Jr., J.), entered March 12, 1999 in Albany County, which granted plaintiffs’ motion to set aside the verdict in favor of defendant and ordered a new trial.
Following a fire on February 7, 1995, plaintiffs submitted a claim to defendant under their homeowner’s policy for the contents of their home. Among the items listed were 20 pairs of women’s blue jeans, 20 pairs of Romika shoes, five television sets, 50 leather purses and 536 books. Defendant denied the claim on the ground that plaintiffs fraudulently exaggerated the loss.
