DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the petitioner pro se for leave to prosecute a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, which was transferred to this Court by an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, entered March 30, 2015, as a poor person, to waive the requirements of 22 NYCRR 670.8 and 22 NYCRR 670.16 regarding the filing of a brief, and for leave to file fewer than nine copies of his brief.

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 branches of the motion which are for free transcripts, to waive the requirements of 22 NYCRR 670.8 and 22 NYCRR 670.16 regarding the filing of a brief, and for leave to file fewer than nine copies of the petitioner's brief are denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for leave to prosecute the proceeding on the original papers is granted, and the proceeding will be heard on the original papers (including the transcript of the proceedings, if any) and on the briefs of the parties, who are directed to file nine copies of their respective briefs and to serve one copy on each other; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to waive payment of the filing fee is denied as unnecessary as no filing fee is payable in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 that was transferred to this Court by an order of the Supreme Court.
