In re the Arbitration between Safeco Insurance Group & Williams (39 N.Y.2d 800, 1976)

Motion granted to the extent that the appeal is transferred to the Appellate Division, Second Department, without costs. A direct appeal does not lie to the Court of Appeals where questions other than the constitutional validity of a statutory provision are involved. (NY Const, art VI, § 3, subd b, par [2]; § 5, subd b; CPLR 5601, subd [b], par 2; Matter of Bartsch v State of New York, 33 NY2d 938).
