ORDERED that the motion and the application by appellant are held in abeyance in the interim; 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 appellant at his last known place of residence or, if he is imprisoned, at the institution in which he is confined, and upon the attorney who last appeared for him, and upon the District Attorney, by ordinary mail pursuant to CPL 470.60(2).
