Opinion
Decided May 11, 1999
Motion to dismiss appeal granted and appeal dismissed, with four hundred dollars costs and one hundred dollars costs of motion, upon the ground that the State Constitution (art VI, §§ 3[b][3], [4]) and the CPLR (CPLR 5601[c]; 5602[b][1]) do not authorize a grant of leave to defendant on a certified question in these circumstances (see, Maynard v. Greenberg, 82 N.Y.2d 913).
