V.

HONORABLE GORDON J. CUFFY, ACTING SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.


Petitioner having moved for permission to commence an original CPLR article 78 proceeding in this Court as a poor person,

Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is hereby ORDERED that the motion insofar as it seeks poor person relief is denied, on the ground that the facts as set forth by petitioner fail to demonstrate merit to the proceeding, and

It is further ORDERED that the petition is dismissed unless the requisite filing fee is paid within 120 days (see CPLR 1101 [d]).

Entered: August 17, 2023
