In the Matter of Sheila E. Bartsch, Respondent, v. State of New York, Appellant.
    Argued January 10, 1974;.
    decided January 18, 1974.
    
      Lewis J. Lefkowits, Attorney-General {Amy Juviler and Irving Galt of counsel), for appellant.
    
      Marjory D. Fields, John C. Gray, Jr., Edward W. Zawacki and Michael D. Hampden for respondent.
    
      Norman Redlich, Corporation Counsel {Nina G. Goldstein and Stanley Buchsbaum of counsel), for City of New York, respondent.
    
      Michael. D. Hampden for Legal Aid Society, amicus curiae.
    
   Appeal transferred to Appellate Division, Second Department, without costs. A direct appeal does not lie where questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved. (CPLR 5601, subd. [b], par. 2.) Appropriately, this appeal should be transferred to the Appellate Division. (N. Y. Const., art. VI, § 5, subd. b; cf. Martin v. Alabama 84 Truck Rental, 33 N Y 2d 685; Ryan v. Freeman, 24 N Y 2d 942; Adelman v. Adelman, 24 N Y 2d 989; see, also, 7 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N. Y. Civ. Prac., par. 5514.01, pp. 55-92.)
