OPINION OF THE COURT
Read, J.
The issue in these appeals is whether plaintiffs have stated a viable cause of action to challenge the legislation authorizing the conversion of defendant Empire HealthChoice, Inc., doing business as Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Empire) from a not-for-profit to a for-profit corporation, and directing that certain of Empire’s assets be used for various public health and charitable purposes. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that plaintiffs’ allegations are legally insufficient to support any cognizable cause of action.
