KESHAUN D. JOHNSON, RESPONDENT-PETITIONER-APPELLANT.


Appellant having applied 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, Monroe County, entered September 17, 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 motion is granted with respect to the appeal insofar as it challenges the dismissal of appellant's family offense petition, and

It is further ORDERED that the Monroe County Public Defender, 10 North Fitzhugh Street, Rochester, New York 14614, is hereby assigned as counsel to conduct that aspect of the appeal, and

It is further ORDERED that the Monroe County Family Court Clerk provide the Monroe County Public Defender with copies of all papers and transcripts of stenographic, digitally recorded, or audiotaped minutes, if any, of the proceedings upon which the appeal is based, and

It is further ORDERED that the transcripts, if any, shall be filed with the Monroe County Family Court Clerk, within 30 days of the date of this order, pursuant to Family Court Act § 1121 (7), and

It is further ORDERED that the record and briefs are to be filed and served within 60 days of the filing of the transcripts with the Monroe County Family Court Clerk, and

It is further ORDERED that the appeal insofar as it challenges the finding that appellant committed family offenses is dismissed on the ground that the order appealed from is not an order of disposition appealable as of right (see Family Court Act §§ 841 [d], 1112 [a]), and the motion with respect to that aspect of the appeal is dismissed.
