The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Kenneth Genao, Defendant-Appellant.
An appeal having been taken from a judgment of the Supreme Court, New York County, rendered on or about May 8, 2015, And, an order of this Court having been entered on November 5, 2015 (M-4615), granting defendant poor person relief and assigning Seymour W. James, Jr., Esq., as counsel to prosecute the appeal, And, defendant having renewed his motion for an order relieving assigned counsel, Seymour W. James, Jr., Esq., and substituting Patrick Joyce, Esq., as appellate counsel for the purpose of prosecuting defendant's appeal, Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion, and due deliberation having been had thereon, It is ordered that the motion is granted to the extent of relieving assigned counsel Seymour W. James, Jr., Esq., on the appeal, continuing the previously granted poor person relief, and enlarging the time to perfect the appeal to the May 2017 Term, so much of the motion seeking to substitute retained counsel on the appeal is denied as unnecessary.
