Appeals from two orders of the Family Court, Queens County, dated November 26, 2024, and August 1, 2025, respectively. Motion by the appellant for waiver of costs, fees, and expenses and for the assignment of counsel on the appeal from the order dated November 26, 2024. Motion by the appellant, inter alia, for leave to appeal to this Court from the order dated August 1, 2025, and to stay enforcement of that order, pending hearing and determination of that appeal.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion for waiver of costs, fees, and expenses and for the assignment of counsel on the appeal from the order dated November 26, 2024, and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the motion, inter alia, for leave to appeal to this Court from the order dated August 1, 2025, and to stay enforcement of the order dated August 1, 2025, and the papers filed in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion for waiver of costs, fees, and expenses and for the assignment of counsel on the appeal from the order dated November 26, 2024, is denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion, inter alia, for leave to appeal to this Court from the order dated August 1, 2025, and to stay enforcement of that order, pending hearing and determination of that appeal, is dismissed for failure to serve the motion in accordance with the terms of the order to show cause; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the appeal purportedly taken as of right from the order dated August 1, 2025, is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, on the ground that the order is not appealable as of right (see Family Ct Act § 1112[a]), and we decline to grant leave to appeal; and it is further;

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the appellant is enjoined from filing any further motions or applications in this Court concerning any matters arising from the proceeding entitled In the Matter of Robert Matthews v Yu Wei, commenced in the Family Court, Queens County, under Docket No. V-6938-2019, or any related supplemental dockets, or commencing any original proceedings in this Court regarding that proceeding, without prior leave of this Court; and it is further,
