2013-01143 In the Matter of Paul Adamo, appellant, v Tania Russo, respondent. (Docket No. F-24469-11/11A)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant pro se for leave to prosecute an appeal from an order of the Family Court, Kings County, dated December 17, 2012, as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel.

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 the branch of the motion which is for leave to prosecute the appeal on the original papers is denied as unnecessary (see Family Ct Act § 1116), 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 children, 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,

ORDERED that the branches of the motion which are to waive the filing fee, for free transcripts, and for the assignment of counsel are denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that pursuant to § 670.4(a) of the rules of this court (22 NYCRR 670.4[a]), on or before May 6, 2013, the appellant shall file in the office of the Clerk of this court one of the following:

(1) an affidavit or affirmation stating that there are no minutes of the Family Court proceeding to be transcribed for the appeal; or

(2) if there are such minutes, an affidavit or affirmation that the transcript has been received, and indicating the date that it was received; or

(3) if the transcript has not been received, an affidavit or affirmation stating that it has been ordered and paid for, the date thereof and the date by which the transcript is expected; or

(4) an affidavit or an affirmation withdrawing the appeal; and it is further,

ORDERED that if the appellant fails to file the affidavit or affirmation on or before May 6, 2013, as set forth above, the Court will dismiss the appeal, without further notice.
