Head Matter:
Betty O. Muka, Appellant, v John L. Livingston, as Surrogate of St. Lawrence County, Respondent.
Decided June 10, 1986

Opinion:
Appeal transferred, without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte, to the Appellate Division, Third Department. A direct appeal does not lie because no substantial question is presented as to the constitutional validity of the challenged statute (NY Const, art VI, § 3 [b] [2]; § 5 [b]; CPLR 5601 [b] [2]).
