v Leon McFarlane, appellant.

(Ind. No. 9040/02)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant pro se for leave to prosecute an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, rendered November 16, 2005, as a poor person, and for the assignment of counsel. By order to show cause dated July 7, 2010, the appellant was directed to show cause before this court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal on the ground that he had abandoned the appeal, and the appellant's motion was held in abeyance in the interim.

Upon the order to show cause and no papers having been filed in response thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the appellant's motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted and the appeal is dismissed (see 22 NYCRR 670.8[f]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the appellant's motion for leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel is denied as academic.
