In the Matter of Lesly Remy, Appellant, v FrancineMitchell, Respondent.

—[*1]Lesly Remy, Brentwood, N.Y., appellant pro se.

In a child support proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the father appeals froman order of the Family Court, Queens County (Fondacaro, S.M.), dated October 3, 2007, which,after a hearing, inter alia, fixed child support arrears against him in the sum of $5,691.13.

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

It is the obligation of the appellant to assemble a proper record on appeal (seeFamily Ct Act § 1118; CPLR 5525 [a]; Matter of Zaikowski v Monzon, 277AD2d 459 [2000]). The failure to provide necessary transcripts inhibits the Court's ability torender an informed decision on the merits of the appeal (see Matter of Rudick v Rudick, 16 AD3d 514 [2005]). In thisproceeding, the father failed to provide a transcript of the hearing. This appeal must be dismissedas the papers provided were patently insufficient for the purpose of reviewing the issues heraised (see Matter of Rudick v Rudick,16 AD3d 514 [2005]; Sultan v Sultan, 295 AD2d 498, 499 [2002]; Svobodav Svoboda, 275 AD2d 742 [2000]).
