It is further ORDERED that the motion insofar as it seeks permission to proceed as a poor person is denied with leave to renew upon the submission of a new motion that includes, among other things, an affidavit setting forth sufficient facts so that the merit of the contentions can be ascertained (see CPLR § 1101 [a]).
