DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the appellant's assigned counsel on an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, rendered January 16, 2018, in effect, to be relieved on the ground that the appellant has absconded and is no longer available to comply with the mandate of the Court. By order to show cause dated March 11, 2020, the appellant was directed to show cause before this Court why an order should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal on the ground that the appellant had absconded and was no longer available to comply with the mandate of the Court, and the motion by assigned counsel was held in abeyance in the interim.

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

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted and the appeal is dismissed (see People v Taveras, 10 NY3d 227); and it is further,
