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

ORDERED that that branch of the motion which is for leave to dispense with printing is denied as unnecessary (see 22 NYCRR 670.9[d][1][viii]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise granted; and it is further,

ORDERED that the appeal will be heard on the original papers (including a certified transcript of the proceedings, if any) and on the appellant's and the respondent's briefs; the parties are directed to file an original and five duplicate hard copies, and, if represented by counsel, one digital copy, of their respective briefs, and to serve one hard copy on each other (22 NYCRR 1250.9[a][4],[c][1],[d],[e]); additionally, the appellant is directed to file proof of service of a subpoena upon the clerk of the court of original instance requiring all documents constituting the record on appeal to be filed with the Clerk of this Court (22 NYCRR 1250.9[a][4][i]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the stenographer of the trial court is directed promptly to make, certify and file two transcripts of the proceedings, if any, of any pretrial hearings, of the plea of guilty or of the trial, and of the imposition of sentence in this action, except for those minutes previously transcribed and certified (see 22 NYCRR 671.9); and it is further,

ORDERED that in the event that the case was tried to a conclusion before a jury, the stenographer shall also make, certify and file two transcripts of the minutes of proceedings during jury selection; and it is further,

ORDERED that the clerk of the trial court shall furnish one certified transcript of each of the proceedings set forth above to the appellant's counsel, (Robert "Bob" Walters, P.C., 1825 Park Avenue, Suite 1102, New York, NY 10035) without charge (see CPL 460.70); counsel is directed to turn over those transcripts to the respondent when counsel serves the appellant's brief on the respondent; and it is further,

ORDERED that in the event the stenographer has already prepared a copy of any of the minutes for a codefendant, then the clerk of the trial court is directed to reproduce a copy thereof for retained counsel; and it is further,

ORDERED that, upon service of a copy of this decision and order on motion upon it, the Department of Probation is hereby authorized and directed to provide counsel with a copy of the pre-sentence report prepared in connection with the defendant's sentencing, including the recommendation sheet and any prior reports on the defendant which are incorporated or referred to in the report, and to provide additional copies to this Court upon demand; and it is further,

ORDERED that in the event an issue as to the legality, propriety or excessiveness of the sentence is raised on appeal, or if counsel cites or relies upon the probation report in a brief or motion in any other way, counsel shall provide a complete copy of such report and any attachments to the court and the District Attorney's office prior to the filing of such brief or motion; and it is further,

ORDERED that the appellant's retained counsel is directed to serve a copy of this order upon the clerk of the court from which the appeal is taken; and it is further,

ORDERED that the appellant's time to perfect the appeal is extended. The appellant's counsel shall prosecute the appeal expeditiously in accordance with this Court's rules (see 22 NYCRR 125.9) and written directions.
