Appeal by Benjamin P. Brooks from an order of the Family Court, Suffolk County, dated January 14, 2020. Motion by the appellant pro se for leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person.

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

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 1250.5[e][1], 1250.9[a][4],[c][1],[d],[e]; Family Ct Act § 1116); and it is further,

ORDERED that the branches of the motion which are to waive the filing fee and for free transcripts are denied.
