(Index No. 1397/2019)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by Leroy Dorsey for leave to appeal to this Court from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, dated December 2, 2020, to prosecute the appeal as a poor person, and for the assignment of counsel.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for leave to appeal is denied as unnecessary since the judgment is appealable as of right (see CPLR 5701); and it is further,

ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for poor person relief and the assignment of counsel is denied, without prejudice to renew after filing a timely notice of appeal (see CPLR 5513, 5514).
