Opinion
Submitted September 24, 1984
Decided October 30, 1984
Motion for leave to appeal, etc., denied. The Court of Appeals restates the rule that denial of a motion for leave to appeal is not equivalent to an affirmance and has no precedential value (see, e.g., Matter of Marchant v Mead-Morrison Mfg. Co., 252 N.Y. 284, 297-298 [Cardozo, Ch. J.]; Matter of Whelan v Griffin, 63 N.Y.2d 650).
