Head Matter:
In the Matter of Ralph W. Smith, Jr., as District Attorney of Albany County, Petitioner, v. Edward S. Conway, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, et al., Respondents.

Opinion:
Proceeding,pursuant to CPLR article 78, in the 'nature of prohibition, seeking to vacate an order of the Supreme Court staying execution of a judgment of conviction. Petition granted, without costs. The stay is not authorized by the statute (CPL 460.50, subd. 1; CPL 530.50) and therefore the court exceeded its powers in granting it (see. Matter of Lee v. County Ct. of Erie County, 27 N Y 2d 432, 437, cert, den. 404 U. S. 823). Herlihy, P. J., Staley, Jr., Cooke, Sweeney and Kane, JJ., concur.
