Opinion
February 11, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Deeley, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed.
Since the defendant is not incarcerated and all efforts by assigned appellate counsel to locate and communicate with him have been unsuccessful, the defendant has demonstrated a lack of interest in his appeal, and the appeal is therefore dismissed as abandoned (see, People v Jinks, 140 A.D.2d 371; People v Southerland, 136 A.D.2d 662; People v Jimenez, 97 A.D.2d 799). Mangano, P.J., Kunzeman, Kooper, Sullivan and Ritter, JJ., concur.
