The People, etc., respondent,

v Anthony Goines, appellant.

(Ind. No. 2861/04)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by Lynn W. L. Fahey, counsel assigned to prosecute an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered June 30, 2005, to be relieved on the ground that the appellant has, in effect, abandoned the appeal, by failing to respond to correspondence sent to him by assigned counsel. By order to show cause dated December 27, 2006, the appellant was directed to show cause before this court why an order should or should not be entered dismissing the appeal on the ground that he has abandoned the appeal, and the motion by assigned counsel to be relieved was held in abeyance in the interim.

Upon the court's own motion and no papers having been filed in response to the order to show cause, it is

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed (see 22 NYCRR 670.8[f]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion by assigned counsel to be relieved is granted.

PRUDENTI, P.J., FLORIO, SKELOS and McCARTHY, JJ., concur.

ENTER:

James Edward Pelzer

Clerk of the Court
