against

New York City Transit Authority, Defendant-Respondent.

Plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Jennifer G. Schecter, J.), entered on or about August 7, 2013, after inquest, in favor of defendant dismissing the complaint.

Per Curiam.

Judgment (Jennifer G. Schecter, J.), entered on or about August 7, 2013, affirmed, without costs, for the reasons stated by Jennifer G. Schecter, J. at Civil Court.

The inquest court properly dismissed plaintiff's personal injury action, in the absence of any competent evidence tending to establish a causal connection between defendant's alleged negligence and plaintiff's vaguely described injuries (see Schwartzman v Friedler, 279 AD2d 517 [2001]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
