      Lewis J. Lefkowits, Attorney-General {Amy Juviler and Irving Galt of counsel), for appellant.
    
      Marjory D. Fields, John C. Gray, Jr., Edward W. Zawacki and Michael D. Hampden for respondent.

      Michael. D. Hampden for Legal Aid Society, amicus curiae.
    
   Appeal transferred to Appellate Division, Second Department, without costs. A direct appeal does not lie where questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved. (CPLR 5601, subd. [b], par. 2.) Appropriately, this appeal should be transferred to the Appellate Division. (N. Y. Const., art. VI, § 5, subd. b; cf. Martin v. Alabama 84 Truck Rental, 33 N Y 2d 685; Ryan v. Freeman, 24 N Y 2d 942; Adelman v. Adelman, 24 N Y 2d 989; see, also, 7 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N. Y. Civ. Prac., par. 5514.01, pp. 55-92.)
