DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeals by Bernice Sherice L., among others, from two orders of the Family Court, Richmond County, both dated August 19, 2005. Motion by the assigned counsel for the appellant Bernice Sherice L. to be relieved of the assignment to prosecute the appeals. By decision and order on motion dated August 18, 2006, the appellant Bernice Sherice L. was directed to show cause before this court why an order should or should not be entered dismissing the appeal as abandoned and the motion by assigned counsel to be relieved was held in abeyance in the interim.

Now, on the court's own motion and no papers having been filed in response thereto, and upon the papers submitted in support of the motion by assigned counsel and no papers having been filed in opposition or relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted, and the appeal is dismissed as abandoned (see 22 NYCRR 670.8[e]), without costs or disbursements; and it is further,

ORDERED that motion by assigned counsel is denied as academic.

CRANE, J.P., RITTER, RIVERA and LUNN, JJ., concur.
