Decided November 29, 1988

Appeals transferred, without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte, to the Appellate Division, First Department, upon the ground that a direct appeal does not lie where 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]).
