Opinion
Submitted December 30, 1996
Decided February 18, 1997
On the Court's own motion, appeal transferred, without costs, to the Appellate Division, Fourth 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]). Motions for stays and other relief dismissed as academic.
