MATTER OF BROOKLYN HOSPITAL v. LENNON

Motion by acting superintendent for leave to appeal denied, with $20 costs and necessary reproduction disbursements. Motion by intervenor for leave to appeal denied, with $20 costs and necessary reproduction disbursements.

The court takes this occasion to restate 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 N.Y. 284, 297-298).
