DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeals by Sherry Paul from a decision of the Supreme Court, Orange County, dated September 3, 2015, and a judgment of the same court dated June 9, 2016.

On the Court's own motion, it is

ORDERED that the appeal from the decision is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, on the ground that no appeal lies from a decision (see Schicchi v J.A. Green Constr. Co., 100 AD2d 509); and it is further,

ORDERED that pursuant to § 670.4(a) of the rules of this Court (22 NYCRR 670.4[a]), the appeal from the judgment in the above-entitled action shall be perfected within 60 days after the receipt by the appellant of the transcripts of the minutes of the proceedings in the Supreme Court, and the appellant shall notify this Court by letter of the date the transcripts are received, or, if there are no minutes of proceedings to be transcribed, within 60 days of the date of this decision and order on motion; and it is further,

ORDERED that pursuant to § 670.4(a) of the rules of this Court (22 NYCRR 670.4[a]), within 30 days after the date of this decision and order on motion, 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 Supreme Court proceedings to be transcribed for the appeal from the judgment; 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) if the appellant is indigent and cannot afford to obtain the minutes or perfect the appeal from the judgment, a motion in this Court for leave to prosecute the appeal from the judgment as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel, pursuant to the requirements of CPLR 1101. Such a motion must be supported by an affidavit from the appellant, stating either that he or she qualified for assigned counsel upon application to the Supreme Court and that his or her financial status has not changed since that time, or that he or she had retained counsel or appeared pro se in the Supreme Court, and listing his or her assets and income; or

(5) an affidavit or an affirmation withdrawing the appeal from the judgment; and it is further,

ORDERED that if none of the actions described in (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) above has been taken within 30 days of the date of this scheduling order, the Clerk of the Court shall issue an order to all parties to show cause why the appeal from the judgment should or should not be dismissed.
