Decided September 12, 2000.
Appeal transferred without costs, by the Court sua sponte, to the Appellate Division, Second Department, upon the ground that a direct appeal does not lie when questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved (NY Const, art VI, §§ 3[b][ 2], 5[b]; CPLR 5601[b][2]).
