DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by Catherine S. Bridge for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant on an appeal from an order of the Family Court, Richmond County, dated July 11, 2011, and for poor person relief.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in relation or opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted; and it is further,

ORDERED that on or before October 21, 2011, Catherine S. Bridge is directed to serve her client by one of the methods specified in CPLR 2103(c), with a copy of this decision and order on motion and shall file proof of such service with the Clerk of this court; and it is further,

ORDERED that no further proceedings shall be taken against the appellant, without leave of the Court, until the expiration of 30 days after service upon him of a copy of this decision and order on motion; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which for leave to prosecute the appeal on the original papers is denied as unnecessary and the appeal will be heard on the original papers (including a certified transcript of the proceedings, if any) and on the briefs of the appellant, the respondent, and the attorney for the child, if any. The parties are directed to file nine copies of their respective briefs and to serve one copy on each other (22 NYCRR 670.9[d][1][ii]; Family Ct Act § 1116); and it is further,
