DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant pro se for leave to prosecute an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, rendered October 16, 2015, as a poor person, and for the assignment of counsel. By order to show cause dated September 18, 2017, the appellant was directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal on the ground that the notice of appeal from the judgment was untimely, and the appellant's motion, in effect, was held in abeyance in the interim.

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted and the appeal is dismissed (see CPL 460.30); and it is further,
