    Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers, Respondent, v New York State Emergency Financial Control Board for the City of Yonkers, Appellant.
    Decided October 15, 1985
   Appeal transferred to the Appellate Division, Second Department, without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte, upon the ground that a direct appeal does not lie. Inasmuch as Laws of 1984 (ch 103, § 7) may not constitutionally be read to expand this court’s jurisdiction, it may only be interpreted to provide a jurisdictional predicate for a direct appeal to this court where the only question involved is the constitutional validity of a statutory provision (NY Const, art VI, § 3 [b] [2]; CPLR 5601 [b] [2]). There being questions other than the constitutional validity of a statute involved, transfer to the Appellate Division is ordered (NY Const, art VI, § 5 [b]).
