Watson v. State ( 2016 )

Appeals transferred, without costs, by the Court of Appeals, sua sponte, to the Appellate Division, First 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]).
