Petitioner-appellant having applied for permission to proceed as a poor person and for assignment of counsel on the appeal taken herein from an order of the Family Court, Wayne County, entered in the Office of the Clerk of said Court on October 31, 2017,

Now, upon reading and filing the certification of Robert DiNieri, Esq., dated November 29, 2017, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is further ORDERED that the application insofar as it seeks permission to proceed as a poor person is denied with leave to renew upon the submission of a motion that includes, among other things, an affidavit setting forth appellant's current income, assets and financial obligations, and sufficient facts so that the merit of the contentions can be ascertained (see CPLR § 1101 [a]).
