Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

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 and for free transcripts 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 February 3, 2016, the appellant shall file in the office of the Clerk of this Court an affidavit or affirmation stating that the remaining transcripts have been ordered and paid for, the date thereof, and the date by which the transcript is expected or an affidavit or an affirmation withdrawing the appeal; and it is further,

ORDERED that if the appellant does not comply with the directives set forth in the preceding paragraph on or before February 3, 2016, the Clerk of the Court shall issue an order to all parties to the appeal to show cause why the appeal should or should not be dismissed.
