DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by Alonzo K. White for leave to appeal to this Court from two orders of the Family Court, Kings County, dated February 21, 2012, and May 21, 2012, respectively, for poor person relief, for the assignment of counsel, for a preference in the calendaring of the appeals, and to enlarge the time to perfect the appeals.

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

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the appeal from the order dated February 1, 2012, is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, on the ground that no appeal lies from an order entered upon the default of an appealing party (see CPLR 5511); and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for leave to appeal from the order dated May 21, 2012, is denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the appeal purportedly taken as of right from the order dated May 21, 2012, is dismissed, without costs or disbursements; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied as academic.

DILLON, J.P., ANGIOLILLO, BALKIN and MILLER, JJ., concur.
