Majority

Robert B. Beachboard, Appellant, v Columbia University et al., Respondents.
Decided September 3, 1982

Appeal dismissed, without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte, upon the ground that an appeal does not lie (NY Const, art VI, § 3, subd b, par [7]). Moreover, the order appealed from does not finally determine the action within the meaning of the Constitution; it involves a question of discretion of the type not reviewable by this court (Cohen and Karger, Powers of the New York Court of Appeals, § 147, pp 586-587); and a substantial constitutional question is not directly involved (CPLR 5601, subd [b], par 1).
