In the Matter of Donald Clarizio, Petitioner, v People of the State of New York, Respondent, and George Semkus, Appellant.
Submitted November 12, 1996;
decided November 26, 1996

Opinion:
Appeal, insofar as taken from that portion of the Appellate Division order that denied appellant's motion for poor person relief, dismissed, without costs, by the Court of Appeals, sua sponte, upon the ground that that portion of the order does not finally determine the proceeding within the meaning of the Constitution; appeal, insqfar as taken from the remainder of the Appellate Division order, dismissed, without costs, by the Court of Appeals, sua sponte, upon the ground that no appeal lies as of right from the unanimous order of the Appellate Division absent the direct involvement of a substantial constitutional question (CPLR 5601).
