DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION
Motion by the appellant pro se for leave to prosecute an appeal from an order of the Family Court, Richmond County, dated June 3, 2011, as a poor person, and for the assignment of counsel.
Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, it is
ORDERED that the branch of the motion which for leave to prosecute the appeal on the original papers is denied as unnecessary and the appeal will be heard on the original papers (including a certified transcript of the proceedings, if any) and on the briefs of the appellant, the respondent, and the attorney for the children, if any. The parties are directed to file nine copies of their respective briefs and to serve one copy on each other (22 NYCRR 670.9[d][1][ii]; Family Ct Act § 1116); and it is further,
ORDERED that the branch of the motion which is for free transcripts is denied as unnecessary as the appellant possesses a copy of the transcripts; and it is further,
ORDERED that the branches of the motion which are to waive the filing fee and for the assignment of counsel are denied, with leave to renew on or before November 4, 2011, upon proper papers, including the appellant's affidavit setting forth the appellant's full financial situation including all assets, both real and personal, as well as any and all sources of income and expenses.
