2002-02248 The People, etc., respondent, v Wykim Williams, appellant. (Ind. No. 480/98)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered March 23, 2000. By decision and order on motion dated April 19, 2007, the appellant's motion, in effect, pursuant to CPL 460.30 to extend his time to take an appeal from the judgment was granted and the court directed the appellant to either (1) perfect the appeal, (2) advise the court of the name of his attorney, or (3) move for leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel, on or before June 18, 2007. The appellant has not complied with the decision and order on motion of this court.

Now on the court's own motion, it is

ORDERED that the appellant show cause before this court why this appeal should or should not be dismissed on the ground that he has abandoned the appeal by failing to comply with the decision and order on motion dated April 19, 2007, by filing an affirmation or affidavit on that issue with the Clerk of this court on or before August 24, 2007; and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of this court, or his designee, is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause upon the defendant by ordinary mail pursuant to CPL 470.60(2), at his last known place of residence or, if he is imprisoned, at the institution in which he is confined, and by regular mail upon the attorney herein assigned to represent the defendant and upon the District Attorney.

RIVERA, J.P., FLORIO, DILLON and COVELLO, JJ., concur.
