ANGEL B., RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.


Petitioner-appellant having applied for permission to proceed as a poor person on the appeal taken herein from an order of the Supreme Court, Onondaga County, entered in the Office of the Clerk of said Court on March 25, 2009, and for assignment of counsel,

Now, upon the Court's own motion,

It is hereby ORDERED that the order of this Court entered June 23, 2009, is vacated, and

It is further ORDERED that the application insofar as it seeks the assignment of counsel is denied on the ground that such relief is not authorized for the petitioner in a paternity proceeding (see Family Court Act §§ 262, 1120 [a]), and

It is further ORDERED that the application insofar as it seeks permission to proceed as a poor person is denied with leave to renew upon the submission of a motion that includes an affidavit setting forth sufficient facts so that the merit of the contentions can be ascertained (see CPLR § 1101 [a]).

Entered: July 9, 2009
