Petitioner having moved for permission to proceed as a poor person, for assignment of counsel, and for leave to appeal to this Court from a judgment (denominated order) of the Supreme Court entered in the Office of the Clerk of the County of Cayuga on April 21, 2010, and

Now, upon reading and filing the affidavit of Wayne A. White sworn to May 15, 2010, the notice of motion with proof of service thereof, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is hereby ORDERED that the motion insofar as it seeks permission to proceed as a poor person is denied because petitioner failed to demonstrate merit to the appeal (see People ex rel. Gill v Greene, 12 NY3d 1; see also CPLR 1101 [a]; 22 NYCRR 1000.14 [a] [2]), and

It is further ORDERED that the motion insofar as it seeks assignment of counsel is denied.

Memorandum: Assignment of counsel is not available.
