DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant pro se for leave to prosecute appeals from four judgments of the County Court, Rockland County, all rendered November 10, 2004, as a poor person, and for the assignment of counsel.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the appellant show cause before this court why an order should not be made and entered dismissing the appeals on the ground that the notice of appeal is untimely (see CPL 460.10[1][a], 460.30), and the appellant has not sought leave to file a late notice of appeal, by filing an affidavit on that issue with the Clerk of this court on or before January 18, 2008, and the motion for leave to proceed as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel is held in abeyance in the interim; 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 appellant at his last known place of residence, or, if he is imprisoned, at the institution in which he is confined, and upon the District Attorney, by ordinary mail pursuant to CPL 470.60(2).

CRANE, J.P., RIVERA, FLORIO and BALKIN, JJ., concur.
