MATTER OF DARREN K.L., PETITIONER-APPELLANT, v. DANAISHA A.D., RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.
PRESENT:
Petitioner-appellant having moved for permission to proceed as a poor person and for assignment of counsel on the appeal taken herein from an order of the Family Court, Onondaga County, entered in the Office of the Clerk of said Court on September 19, 2017,
Now, upon reading and filing the affidavit of Darren K.L., sworn to September 27, 2017, and the notice of motion with proof of service thereof, and due deliberation having been had thereon,
It is hereby 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 permission to proceed as a poor person is denied on the ground that petitioner-appellant failed to set forth sufficient facts to demonstrate merit to the appeal (see CPLR 1101 [a]).
