DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by Lynn W. L. Fahey, counsel assigned to prosecute an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated June 18, 2010, issued pursuant to CPL 440.46, in effect, to be relieved of the assignment on the ground that the appeal has been rendered academic. By order to show cause dated May 26, 2011, 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 the appeal had been rendered academic by the appellant's resentencing on December 23, 2010, and the motion by assigned counsel, in effect, to be relieved of the assignment was held in abeyance in the interim.

Now, upon the order to show cause and no papers having been filed in response thereto, it is

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, on the ground that it has been rendered academic; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion by assigned counsel, in effect, to be relieved of the assignment is granted.
