In the Matter of John Warburton, Petitioner, v William Polito, as Supreme Court Justice, Respondent.
    [668 NYS2d 963]
   Motion to vacate decision and for other relief denied. Memorandum: Petitioner has no cognizable basis for a CPLR article 78 proceeding because the relief that he seeks may be sought only on direct appeal. Petitioner may appeal from the order denying his motion to dismiss in the underlying action once an order has been entered and served. With respect to recusal of the Trial Judge in the underlying action, petitioner’s remedy is to move for recusal and to appeal an adverse order, if any. Present—Green, J. P., Pine, Lawton, Hayes and Balio, JJ.
