v Miguel Pereyra, appellant.

(Ind. No. 349/98)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Motion by the appellant pro se on an appeal from a purported judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered December 10, 2003, for leave to prosecute the appeal from the purported judgment as a poor person, and for the assignment of counsel.

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

ORDERED that on the court's own motion, the defendant is ordered to show cause before this court, why an order should or should not be entered dismissing the appeal from the purported judgment on the ground that no appeal lies from the purported judgment, as the purported judgment is nothing more than a proceeding to cause a judgment of the same court rendered November 12, 1998, to be brought to execution (see People v Crawford, 239 AD2d 515), by filing an affirmation on that issue with the Clerk of this court on or before April 30, 2004; 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, his attorney, and the District Attorney, by ordinary mail pursuant to CPL 470.60(2); and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is held in abeyance in the interim.
