Lillian Glass et al., Appellants, v Edward R. Thompson, Individually and as Administrative Judge of the Civil Court of the City of New York, et al., Respondents. Barbara Carson et al., on Behalf of Themselves and All Others Similarly Situated, Appellants, v Edward R.

Decided May 1, 1975
Henry C. Miner, III, Bernard M. Alter and June Zeitlin for Lillian Glass and another, appellants.
Richard Fischbein and Michael T. Heffernan for Barbara Carson and others, appellants.
Louis J. Lefkowitz, Attorney-General (Robert S. Hammer and Samuel A. Hirshowitz of counsel), for respondents.

Opinion:
On the court's own motion, appeal in Glass v Thompson transferred, without costs, to the Appellate Division, Second Department, and the appeal in Carson v Thompson transferred, without costs, to the Appellate Division, First Department. The direct appeals do not lie since questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved (CPLR 5601, subd [b], par 2; Matter of Bartsch v State of New York, 33 NY2d 938).
