Opinion
November 20, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Coffinas, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed.
It appears that the defendant is not currently incarcerated or under parole supervision. All efforts by assigned appellate counsel to locate the defendant have been unsuccessful, and the defendant has not contacted his attorney in over a year. The defendant has thus demonstrated a lack of interest in the appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as abandoned (see, People v Jinks, 140 A.D.2d 371). Mollen, P.J., Lawrence, Kooper, Spatt and Harwood, JJ., concur.
