Appellant having moved for permission to commence an original CPLR article 78 proceeding in this Court as a poor person,

Now, upon reading and filing the affidavit of George S. Crandall sworn to June 17, 2009, the notice of motion with proof of service thereof, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is hereby ORDERED that the motion be, and the same hereby is, denied.
