ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

The defendants, Village of Cedarhurst and Bocker Enterprises Incorporated, having appealed to this court from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated November 20, 2003, having filed a record on the appeals on January 15, 2004, and having filed their separate briefs on March 1, 2004, and no brief having been filed by the respondent, the matter was placed on this court's calendar for June 1, 2004. On May 21, 2004, counsel for the appellants notified this court that the parties had settled the action and that the appellants wished to withdraw their respective appeals. By letter dated May 21, 2004, counsel for the appellant Village of Cedarhurst advised this court that the matter had been settled on February 27, 2004, and by separate letter, also dated May 21, 2004, counsel for the appellant Bocker Enterprises Incorporated advised this court that the action had been settled on February 22, 2004.

Now, on the court's own motion, it is

ORDERED that the parties or their counsel are directed to show cause before this court why an order should or should not be made and entered imposing such sanctions and/or costs, if any, against the parties to the appeal or their respective counsel pursuant to 22 NYCRR 670.2(g) as this court may deem appropriate by each filing an affirmation or affidavit on that issue in the office of the Clerk of this court and serving one copy of the same on all parties to the action on or before July 20, 2004.

Section 670.2(g) of the rules of this court provides, in relevant part, that "[i]f a cause or the underlying action or proceeding is wholly or partially settled * * * or if any cause should not be calendared * * * for some other reason, the parties or their counsel shall immediately notify the court," and "[a]ny attorney or party who, without good cause shown, fails to comply with the requirements of this subdivision shall be subject to the imposition of such costs and/or sanctions as the court may direct" (22 NYCRR 670.2[g]).

The Clerk of this court, or his designee, is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause upon counsel for the respective parties by regular mail.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Rockland County, rendered March 26, 1999. By decision and order on motion of this court dated June 2, 2000, the appellant was granted leave to prosecute the appeal pro se and was advised that at the time he filed his brief he would be required to file a properly executed waiver of his right to appellate counsel, which waiver was to read as follows:

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO APPELLATE COUNSEL

I have been advised that (1) I have the right to be represented by an attorney in prosecuting my appeal, and (2) if I cannot afford to retain counsel, one will be assigned to represent me at State expense. Knowing these rights I have voluntarily elected to waive them and to represent myself on the appeal. I have not been forced to waive my rights and I believe myself to be of sufficient intelligence and ability to properly protect my own interests without the assistance of a lawyer to, among other things, write an appellate brief.

ORDERED that the Clerk of this court or his designee is directed to serve a copy of this order to show cause upon the appellant, and the District Attorney, by ordinary mail pursuant to CPL 470.60(2).
