Motion for permission to intervene denied, without costs, upon the ground that such motion is untimely. Where a party would be barred from commencing a proceeding by the Statute of Limitations, such bar may not be avoided by way of intervention as a petitioner (see Matter of Mulkeen v. Bronstein, 75 Misc.2d 110, affd 43 A.D.2d 664, mot for lv to app den 33 N.Y.2d 520). The Town of Prattsville and Greene County may file a brief amicus curiae within 20 days after filing of petitioner's brief. Mahoney, P.J., Sweeney, Kane, Weiss and Levine, JJ., concur.
