ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The petitioner appeals from an order denying his application to sign an order to show cause. No appeal lies as of right from an order denying an application to sign an order to show cause ( seeCPLR 5701[a]; Matter of Englese v. Strauss, 83 A.D.3d 705, 920 N.Y.S.2d 365;Khanal v.
