Residents of a student boarding house had no obligation to supervise an 18-year-old college freshman who got drunk at their party and fell out a second floor window, an appellate court has held.

The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, concluded in a 3-1 opinion that since the student was an adult, he cannot sustain a negligent supervision claim, notwithstanding the fact that he was below the legal drinking age and his hosts allegedly condoned underage drinking.
