{**11 NY3d at 918} OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.
The appeal should be dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.
Although petitioner's facial and as-applied challenges to the Finneran Law (L 1982, ch 891) were addressed by the Appellate Division, they are not substantial. Petitioner's [*2]facial challenge, insofar as it is predicated on New York Constitution article VIII, § 3, was not raised at the Appellate Division and therefore was not directly involved.
Acting Chief Judge Ciparick and Judges Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott and Jones concur.{**11 NY3d at 919}
Appeal dismissed, without costs, in a memorandum.
