| IN THE MATTER OF TRINITY L.T., RESPONDENT-APPELLANT. NIAGARA
COUNTY ATTORNEY, PETITIONER-RESPONDENT. |
Appeals having been taken herein from orders of the Family Court, Niagara County, entered October 15, 2025, and an application having been made for substitution of counsel as Attorney for the Child,
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 appeal taken from the "Order Upon Fact-Finding Hearing" under Appellate Division Docket No. CAF 25-02066 is dismissed on the ground that the order appealed from is not an order of disposition appealable as of right (see Family Court Act § 365.1 [1]), and the application is dismissed with respect to that appeal, and
It is further ORDERED that the application is granted with respect to the appeal taken from the "Order of Disposition" under Appellate Division Docket No. CAF 25-02067, and
It is further ORDERED that Deborah K. Jessey, Esq., P.O. Box 267, 9845 Main Street, Clarence, New York 14031, is hereby assigned as Attorney for the Child and may submit an original, five hard copies, and one electronic copy of a respondent's brief, together with proof of service of one hard copy of the brief upon any party exempt from e-filing pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1000.17 (c) (6) (A).
