    Submitted August 8, 2016;

   Motion for leave to appeal denied. The Court of Appeals takes this occasion to restate the rule that denial of a motion for leave to appeal is not equivalent to an affirmance and has no precedential value (see Matter of Marchant v Mead-Morrison Mfg. Co., 252 NY 284, 297-298 [1929]).
