In re Sean X.
Opinion of the Court
Motion for leave to appeal, etc., 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 Whelan v Griffin, 63 NY2d 650).
