DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by Seymour W. James, Jr., counsel assigned to prosecute an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered February 21, 2013, in effect, to be relieved on the ground that assigned counsel is unable to locate or contact the appellant. By order to show cause dated March 20, 2015, 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 appellant has abandoned the appeal, and the motion by assigned counsel, in effect, to be relieved was held in abeyance in the interim.

Now, upon the order to show cause and no papers having been filed in response thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in relation 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 motion by assigned counsel, in effect, to be relieved is granted.
