KARN v. STATE 137015 (2022)

Appeal transferred without costs, by the Court of Appeals sua sponte, to the Appellate Division, Third Department, upon the ground that a direct appeal does not lie when questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved (see NY Const, art VI, § 3 [b] [2], 5 [b]; CPLR 5601 [b] [2]).
