Submitted February 1, 1988;
decided March 29, 1988

On the court’s own motion, appeal transferred, without costs, to the Appellate Division, Second 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 poor person relief dismissed as academic.
