    Lawrence Carp, Appellant, v Sharon L. Marcus, as Administratrix of the Estate of Patricia A. Marcus, Deceased, et al., Respondents.
   Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court at Special Term (Swartwood, J.), entered February 9, 1984 in Tompkins County, which denied plaintiff’s motion for a protective order appointing a judicial hearing officer to supervise all depositions in the action.

Appeal dismissed, sua sponte, without costs, on the ground that the appeal does not lie as of right (Kaplan v State of New York, 36 AD2d 655). Kane, J. P., Casey, Weiss, Yesawich, Jr., and Levine, JJ., concur.
