    Edward P. Mangano et al., Respondents, v Sheldon Silver et al., Defendants, and State of New York et al., Appellants.
    Decided October 18, 2012
   Appeals, treated as taken from the counter-judgment, transferred, without costs, by the Court of Appeals, sua sponte, to the Appellate Division, Second Department, upon the ground that a direct appeal does not lie when 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]).
