PRESENT:
Petitioner-appellant having applied for permission to proceed as a poor person and for assignment of counsel on the appeal taken herein from an order of the Family Court, Onondaga County, entered May 29, 2019,
Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the application, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is further ORDERED that the application insofar as it seeks permission to proceed as a poor person is denied, with leave to renew upon the filing and service of a motion that includes, among other things, an affidavit setting forth appellant's gross monthly income, assets with their value, and financial obligations, along with sufficient facts so that the merit of the contentions can be ascertained (see CPLR 1101 [a]; 22 NYCRR 1250.4 [d] [2] [i]).
