MATTER OF MARDEE S. INGHAM, PETITIONER-RESPONDENT, v. CARWELL FLOWERS, RESPONDENT-APPELLANT.
PRESENT: , P.J., PERADOTTO, LINDLEY, AND SCONIERS, JJ.
Respondent-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, Monroe County, entered in the Office of the Clerk of said Court on June 14, 2012,
Now, upon reading and filing the affidavit of Carwell Flowers, sworn to July 2, 2012, 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 for a party in a proceeding to establish child support (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 appellant has failed to set forth facts that demonstrate merit to the appeal (see CPLR 1101 [a]).
