Now, upon the order to show cause and the papers filed in response thereto, upon the papers filed in support of assigned counsel's motion and the papers filed in relation thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the application and no papers filed in opposition or in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the application is granted and the appeals are deemed dismissed; and it is further,
