p. 837Betty O. Muka, Appellant, v Robert Howard, as Sheriff of Tompkins County, Respondent. Decided November 1, 1983
Appeal transferred, without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte, to the Appellate Division, Third Department. A direct appeal does not lie where questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved (NY Const, art VI, § 3, subd b, par [2]; § 5, subd b; CPLR 5601, subd [b], par 2).
