Head Matter:
Austin Willis, Appellant, v Robert Howard, Individually and as Sheriff of Tompkins County, Respondent.
Decided June 23, 1982

Opinion:
Appeal dismissed, without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte. A direct appeal does not lie from an order which does not finally determine the action within the meaning of the Constitution; nor does a direct appeal lie where questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved (NY Const, art VI, § 3, subd b, par [2]; CPLR 5601, subd [b], par 2).
