Under the circumstances of this case, where the plaintiff former husband has continuously and wantonly flouted his legal obligations to his former wife and family, the Supreme Court properly denied his application.
Motion by the appellant pro se on an appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, entered February 5, 1998, for the court to accept certain copies of exhibits submitted into evidence in lieu of the originals. The motion was held in abeyance and was referred to the Justices hearing the appeal for determination upon the argument or submission of the appeal.
Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition thereto, it is
ORDERED that the motion is granted, and the copies of the exhibits are accepted in lieu of the originals and have been considered in determination of the appeal.
