Opinion
August 20, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hellenbrand, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as abandoned.
The Supreme Court has reported that the defendant has failed to appear at the hearing notwithstanding that it had been placed on the calendar on four occasions. Defense counsel was unable to locate the defendant and was unable to receive his instructions. Thus, the appeal has been abandoned. Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
