 6 1. A certificate granting leave to appeal to the court of appeals
 7 from an order of an intermediate appellate court is an order of [a
 8 judge] the court of appeals granting such permission and certifying that
 9 the case involves a question of law which ought to be reviewed by the
 10 court of appeals.
 11 2. Such certificate may be issued [by the following judges] in the
 12 indicated situations:
 13 (a) Where the appeal sought is from an order of the appellate divi-
 14 sion, the certificate may be issued by (i) [a judge of] the court of
 15 appeals, upon the approval of two judges of such court after the full
 16 court's consideration of the motion for a certificate granting leave to
 17 appeal or (ii) a justice of the appellate division of the department
 18 which entered the order sought to be appealed.
 19 (b) Where the appeal sought is from an order of an intermediate
 20 appellate court other than the appellate division, the certificate may
 21 be issued only by [a judge of] the court of appeals.
