(Index No. 606942/16)

Motion by Donald Leo & Associates, P.C., for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant on appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dated January 31, 2019, and a judgment of the same court entered April 9, 2019, to consolidate the appeals, and to extend the time to perfect the appeals.

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

ORDERED that the branches of the motion which are for leave to withdraw as counsel with respect to the appeal from the order, to consolidate the appeals, and to extend the time to perfect the appeal from the order are denied as academic; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for leave to withdraw as counsel with respect to the appeal from the judgment is granted and on or before December 23, 2019, Donald Leo & Associates, P.C., shall serve its client by one of the methods specified in CPLR 2103(c), with a copy of this decision and order on motion and shall file proof of such service with the Clerk of this Court; and it is further,

ORDERED that no further proceedings shall be taken against the appellant, without leave of the Court, until the expiration of 30 days after service upon it of a copy of this decision and order on motion; and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is to extend the time to perfect the appeal from the judgment is granted, the time to perfect the appeal from the judgment is extended until February 21, 2020.
