DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondent to dismiss an appeal from an order of the Family Court, Queens County, dated April 12, 2016, on the ground that it has been rendered academic, or, in the alternative, to hold the appeal in abeyance pending determination by the Family Court, Queens County, of the appellant's related proceeding for modification of visitation, and to enlarge the time to serve and file a brief.

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeal is held in abeyance and referred to the panel of Justices hearing the appeal for determination upon the argument or submission thereof; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to enlarge the respondent's time to serve and file a brief is granted, the respondent's time to serve and file a brief is enlarged until April 24, 2017, and the respondent's brief must be served and filed on or before that date; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied.
