SARAH LAPE AND RYEN VERSTREATE, RESPONDENTS-RESPONDENTS.


Petitioner-appellant having applied for permission to proceed as a poor person and for assignment of counsel on the appeals taken herein from orders of the Family Court, Wayne County, entered November 13, 2023,

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

It is hereby ORDERED that the application insofar as it seeks the assignment of counsel is denied on the ground that such relief is not authorized (see Family Court Act §§ 262, 1120 [a]), and

It is further ORDERED that the application insofar as it seeks permission to proceed as a poor person is denied, with leave to renew upon the filing and service of a motion that includes, among other things, an affidavit setting forth appellant's gross monthly income, assets with their value, and financial obligations, along with sufficient facts so that the merit of the contentions can be ascertained.
