THOMAS SMITH, RESPONDENT-APPELLANT.


Respondent-appellant having applied for permission to proceed as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel on the appeal taken herein from an order of the Family Court, Erie County, entered in the Office of the Clerk of said Court on December 23, 2008,

Now, upon reading and filing certification of Jessica L. Vesper, Esq., dated February 4, 2009, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is hereby ORDERED that the application is denied and the appeal is dismissed on the ground that the order sought to be appealed is not an order of disposition appealable as of right (see Family Court Act §§ 439 [a], [e], 1112 [a]).

Entered: February 25, 2009
