Opinion
Submitted June 4, 1990
Decided September 19, 1990
Motion for leave to appeal 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 Michael P. v Diana G., 75 N.Y.2d 1003).
