Lawrence v. Albany County Department for Children, Youth & Families

Motion, insofar as it seeks leave to appeal from that part of the Appellate Division order that affirmed the dismissal of the complaint, denied; motion, insofar as it seeks leave to appeal from the remainder of the Appellate Division order, dismissed upon the ground that it does not finally determine the action within the meaning of the Constitution.
