In the Matter of JAMES E. STOKES, Appellant, v. DONALD UHLER, as Superintendent of Upstate Correctional Facility, Respondent.

Motion for permission to proceed as a poor person and for assignment of counsel.
Upon the papers filed in support of the motion, and no papers having been filed in opposition thereto, it is
ORDERED that the motion for permission to proceed as a poor person is denied, without costs, on the ground that the motion papers fail to set forth sufficient facts so that the merit of the contentions can be ascertained, as required by CPLR 1101 (a), and it is further
ORDERED that the motion for assignment of counsel is denied, without costs.
