Westchester Rockland Newspapers, Inc. v. Ingrassia

Motion for leave to appeal denied. The Court of Appeals restates the rule that denial of a motion for leave to appeal is not equivalent to an affirmance and has no precedential value (see, e.g., Matter of Marchant v Mead-Morrison Mfg. Co., 252 NY 284, 297-298 [Cardozo, Ch. J.]; Matter of Dobbs Ferry Union Free School Dist. [Dobbs Ferry United Teachers], 51 NY2d 861).

Judge Gabrielli taking no part.
