DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant pro se, inter alia, for leave to prosecute an appeal from an order of the Family Court, Kings County, dated April 4, 2019, as a poor person. By order to show cause dated May 15, 2019, 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 had been rendered academic as the order dated April 4, 2019, expired by its terms, the branch of the appellant's motion which was for leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person was held in abeyance in the interim, and the appellant's motion was otherwise denied.

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; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the appellant's motion which was for leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person is denied as academic.

RIVERA, J.P., HINDS-RADIX, BARROS and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur.
