2018-08020 In the Matter of Sandye Renz, respondent, v Frederick Little, appellant. (Docket Nos. V-34858-03/17O, V-34858-03/13M, V-34858-03/13N, V-34858-03/13G, V-34858-03/09L

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION )

Motion by the appellant pro se for leave to prosecute an appeal from an order of the Family Court, Kings County, dated June 21, 2018, as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel. By order to show cause dated September 21, 2018, the parties were directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal in the above-entitled proceedings on the ground that the appeal has been rendered academic as the subject child is now more than 18 years of age and the appellant's motion was held in abeyance in the interim.

Now, upon the order to show cause and the papers filed in response thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the appellant's motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted, and the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements (see De Oliveira v De Oliveira, 151 AD3d 1062); and it is further,

ORDERED that the appellant's motion is denied as academic.

MASTRO, J.P., SGROI, DUFFY and LASALLE, JJ., concur.
