Submitted October 27, 2003;
decided December 2, 2003

Opinion:
On the Court's own motion, appeal transferred, without costs, to the Appellate Division, Third Department, upon the ground that a direct appeal does not lie when questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved (NY Const, art VI, § 3 [b] [2]; § 5 [b]; CPLR 5601 [b] [2]). Motion for relief ancillary to the appeal dismissed as academic.
