John Nielsen for motion.
Patrick J. Hughes opposed.
Bernard Meyerson also opposed.

Motion granted. MVAIC lacks standing as an aggrieved party or otherwise to participate as a party to the appeal, its status as one entitled potentially to a right of contribution being insufficient (Nieves v. Manhattan & Bronx Surface Tr. Auth., 24 N Y 2d 741 , 1030; Mahar v. City of Albany, 303 N. Y. 672 , cf. CPLR 1402).
