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

ORDERED that the appellant's motion is held in abeyance pending determination of this Court's motion to dismiss the appeal; and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court or her designee is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause upon the appellant at the appellant's last known place of residence or, if the appellant is imprisoned, at the institution in which the appellant is confined, upon the attorney who last appeared for the appellant, and upon the District Attorney, by ordinary mail pursuant to CPL 470.60(2).
