v Jennifer Cangro, appellant.

(Index No. 5660/01)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Application by the appellant pursuant to CPLR 670.8(d)(2) to enlarge the time to perfect appeals from (1) a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County, dated July 29, 2005, (2) findings of fact and conclusions of law of the same court also dated July 29, 2005, and (3) a Qualified Domestic Relations Order of the same court, also dated July 29, 2005.

Now, on the court's own motion and no papers having been filed in opposition to the application, it is

ORDERED that the appeal from the findings of fact and conclusions of law (Appellate Division Docket No. 2005-08685) is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as no appeal lies from findings of fact and conclusions of law (see Benedetto v O'Grady, 10 AD2d 628); and it is further,

ORDERED that the appeal from the Qualified Domestic Relations Order (Appellate Division Docket No. 2005-08686) is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as that order is not appealable as of right and leave to appeal has not been granted (see Biglin v Biglin, 2 AD3d 380); and it is further,

ORDERED that the appeal from the judgment (Appellate Division Docket No. 2005-08684) is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as no appeal lies from a judgment entered upon the consent of the parties (see Matter of Brouwer v Pacicca, 291 AD2d 448), without prejudice to the appellant moving in the Supreme Court, Richmond County, to vacate the judgment.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Application by the defendant pursuant to CPL 450.15 and 460.15 for a certificate granting leave to appeal to this court from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated November 2, 2005, which determined his motion pursuant to chapter 738 of the Laws of 2004, to reduce his sentence, and, in effect, for leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person and for the assignment of counsel.

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

Brooklyn, New York 11211

and it is further,

ORDERED that the parties are directed to show cause why an order should or should not be made and entered summarily affirming the order dated November 2, 2005, on the ground that pursuant to the defendant's certificate of conviction (see CPL 60.60), a copy of which is attached hereto, the defendant does not stand convicted of a class A-I felony, and therefore is not subject to the provisions of the statute (see L 204, Ch 738), by filing an affirmation or affidavit on that issue with the Clerk of this court; the District Attorney shall serve and file its affirmation on or before May 22, 2006, and the appellant shall serve and file his affirmation on or before July 24, 2006; and it is further,

ORDERED that the District Attorney is directed to provide the appellant's counsel with copies of all papers submitted to the Supreme Court, Westchester County, which resulted in the order dated November 2, 2005; and it is further,

ORDERED that the Clerk of this court, or his designee, is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause upon the defendant by ordinary mail pursuant to CPL 470.60(2), at his last known place of residence or, if he is imprisoned, at the institution in which he is confined, and by regular mail upon the attorney herein assigned to represent the defendant and upon the District Attorney.
