Petitioner-appellant having moved for a waiver of costs, fees, and expenses and for assignment of counsel on the appeal taken herein from an order of the Family Court, Onondaga County, entered March 7, 2025,
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 notice of appeal dated March 7, 2025, shall be treated as valid as to the order of Family Court entered April 23, 2025, and
It is further ORDERED that the motion 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 motion insofar as it seeks a waiver of costs, fees, and expenses is denied, with leave to renew upon the filing and service of a new motion that includes, among other things, an affidavit setting forth sufficient facts so that the merit of the contentions can be ascertained (see CPLR 1101 [a]; 22 NYCRR 1250.4 [d] [2] [i]).
