King, on Behalf of Himself and All Other Real Property Taxpayers in the County of Monroe Similarly Situated, et al., Appellants, v Mario M. Cuomo, as Governor of the State of New York, et al., Respondents. (And an Additional Action.) Submitted October 7, 1996; decided October 17, 1996
Appeals dismissed, without costs, by the Court of Appeals, sua sponte, upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved and upon the further ground that an Appellate Division order of modification no longer provides a predicate for an appeal as of right (see, NY Const, art VI, § 3 [b]; CPLR 5601).
